Today (Monday) I am taking an off from work. (After continuous work days since last 3 weekends, one needs a break, mentally at least!)
This feeling of 'work off on Monday' was slowly growing on me since last evening. I found myself often going back to those school days when you were taking a leave and feeling so naughtily blissful about the fact that here you are watching TV, playing and enjoying, whereas your friends had to slog at school.
Then today I wake up, and..I am suddenly aware that I don't feel that bliss anymore. Not just that! In fact, I do not feel like its an extended weekend! The morning sounds are different, there is more sound of traffic, less calmness in the ambiance and the sun is brighter! (Not that it is generally any less brighter on a Saturday/Sunday). And!...and..I did not really want to stay hugged to my pillow for a little longer! (wailing in my head!).
The rush of Monday is getting on to me, although I don't want it. Though mentally drained to make any productive thinking, I feel restless, anxious and a little guilty that, "Oh shoot! My work is left pending for another day!" - Tell me about being a workaholic!
Is this how it is for everyone? May be.
Is this how it is suppose to be? May be not!
When you know today you can't be productive for both yourself and your company, there is no point working. Sometimes, mentally/physically, one needs a break and unmindful of whether it is a working day or not we should embrace the break. Find the courage to let go off the rope and fall free that day. Let ourselves lose for a day, to find ourselves alive than ever before, the next day.
