Saturday night stretched longer than expected. I stayed up really late, thinking about different things, some important, some just random thoughts that refused to let me rest. By the time I finally slept, my body was already exhausted, but my mind still felt active.
Surprisingly, I woke up around 5am on Sunday. Normally, that would have been enough time to prepare and go to church, but I could feel something wasn’t right. It wasn’t just tiredness, it was deeper than that I felt mentally stressed and drained. I tried to convince myself to stand up, get ready, and push through it, but my body just didn’t cooperate.
So I made a decision I don’t usually make I went back to sleep.
Later in the morning, some of my friends came around. They were surprised I didn’t show up in church, and of course, they asked questions. I could see it on their faces, that mix of concern and curiosity. I simply told them the truth I was too stressed and needed rest.
At first, I felt a bit guilty. Missing church isn’t something I take lightly. But as the day went on, I started to understand that sometimes, rest is also necessary. We don’t always have to push ourselves beyond our limits just to meet expectations, even good ones.
Yesterday reminded me that being human means recognizing when your body and mind need a break. It wasn’t about laziness, it was about recovery.
Hopefully, next Sunday will be different. I’ll be back, stronger and more refreshed.
Have you ever had a day like that, where your body just says “not today”? Hahaha 🤣 😂,share with me in the comments section.
