I love all of the wisdom in this post, Jen. It's okay to not be in optimal shape every day, and it's okay to take the day off, guilt free. And the power of gratitude is extraordinary. (Your list is wonderful.) Thank you for the reminders.
Woof the push for optimization is exhausting. Comparing ourselves to robots is never a fun game, I need more than just a plug into a wall to recharge. It's a bit more complex. I am glad you liked the list! My aunt coincidentally challenged me to write a list with 100 things that bring me joy. I now extend that invitation to you too :)

Wow, I could see how you'd have mixed emotions about getting good feedback about that line. It's one reason I think that I don't touch ChatGPT at all.
