I was like repulsed by scrolling at that point.

I didn't even listen to music.

I just laid down and was silent.

And what I realized was it wasn't that scary after all.

I think what happened was I reached a point of feeling so bad.

I had allowed myself to get to a point

Actually, I don't even think I had a choice.

I hit a low point and I felt so horrible.

I had no choice but to just stop everything and just lay there.

And the week that followed was very soulful in a way.

I finally relinquished control and just let myself rest.

I had pushed myself so far.

I quite literally had no choice.

And for the following week, I didn't force myself to do anything.

I just let my soul call me to what I needed.

And what's really interesting is that it called me to all of these things that I've been wanting to do anyway in my life.

Giving myself the space to rest actually made me crave things that I've wanted to crave.

Allowing myself to rest brought me back to journaling every single morning.

It brought me back to walking outside every day.

There was a period of time where I was like, I can't walk outside right now.
