I took Friday off and spent the morning listening to Family Tree Counseling videos and writing in my journal. Then I spent the afternoon finishing this book on 1948 Australia vs England cricket.
And now it is Sunday and I want to spend my day off listening to more Family Tree Counseling videos and writing in my journal but I have a nagging voice in my head saying that I should be more productive, I should leave the house, I should mix with people, most of all, I should get something done. I should work on a book. I should hone some writing. Whose voice is this I hear in my head telling me to get off my bum and get to work rather than lying around watching documentaries on Everest? It’s my father’s voice. He taught that everything you do should have a purpose. If you choose to relax, it is for the purpose of becoming more productive.
I have therapy Monday evenings. I keep checking with my therapist if I am wasting my time and my talents and she says it is fine to do things I want to do, even if they aren’t productive in the sense of finishing another book.
