Exhausted by Not-Doing

Saturday I mostly did nothing, and by evening I was exhausted

So much so that I snapped at my mom, and hurt her feelings :(

Which made me feel horribly guilty. Especially since I didn’t really have a ‘good’ excuse for being so incredibly drained of energy.

Until I thought about the ‘nothing’ I had done…

It was not the restive type of not-doing, but rather was a frustrating sort of waiting and not-doing-what-I-wanted-to-be-doing. Most of my day was spent being quietly frustrated, and not speaking up for what I did want to be doing. And that is utterly exhausting!

Is there a not-doing in your life that is draining you?
