Pep Talk

...for myself (for anyone)
...for These Unprecedented Times (for any time)

It's okay to be bored even when you're doing something you love.

It's okay to resist what you normally embrace.

It's fine if you love something but sometimes you just don't.

It's fine if it feels like it doesn't love you back.

It's okay to keep doing it, keep trying, keep moving, even if it doesn't feel like you're going anywhere.

It's okay to rest sometimes, too.

It's good to avoid pushing too hard.

...but it's not always easy to tell when rest is best or if it's better to keep moving.

That's why it's good to have friends and mentors who see things from the outside.

...though ultimately, we have to know the language of our own minds, of our own bodies.
