A Sunday Between Stillness and Struggle

 By Pvaishnavi | June 15, 2025

I began today with a simple intention — to relax and just do nothing.

No pressure. No plans. Just a quiet Sunday where I’d let the world move around me while I paused and soaked in a little peace.

But the stillness didn’t last long.

Soon enough, I found myself opening my laptop — just to check something small… and then another thing… and then I caught myself planning the entire upcoming week.

There it was again: that little voice reminding me of everything I didn’t do last week. The goals that weren’t met. The routines I couldn’t follow. The energy I didn’t have. The high expectations I set — and quietly missed.

A soft layer of regret crept in, not loud or painful, just quietly persistent.
“Maybe I didn’t give it my 100%... Maybe I could have done more.”

And yet, here I am — trying again.
Trying to match my thoughts, align my spirit, and remind myself:

I’m still doing my best.
I’m still choosing to stay positive.
I still believe that what I want is on the way, even if I don’t know how far.

Sometimes it’s not about being at your best every day. It’s about showing up, again and again — even on Sundays, even in silence, even in doubt.

So today might not be as restful as I hoped. But maybe it was exactly what I needed —
A reminder that I am trying. I am learning. And I am moving, even when I pause.

If you’re reading this and feel the same — half rested, half restless — I hope you give yourself some grace today. The kind of gentle permission to not have all the answers, but to still hold on to belief.

Let’s try again tomorrow, with the same heart. 💛
