Thank you for reminding us that giving ourselves permission to have fun is ok. It made me feel relieved to know that I’m not the only one with a closet full of potential Craigslist sales and stacks of unread books by my bedside. Truth is, I’ve been feeling rather dead inside and I’ve realized that my heart has been completely closed up, perhaps bogged down by my own endless master to-do list. I am told that the way we can open up our hearts to begin to feel again is by doing that which brings us joy, which you have eloquently described and your timing couldn’t be more perfect. May we all take those quiet, simple steps towards creating those moments of happiness that will allow our hearts to open up to more love and joy everyday. Thanks again for a wonderful article!
I’ve been considering this quiet quitting thing since I heard, very late, say three weeks ago, about it. One of my first thoughts was, yes people are finally putting boundaries around their work instead of selling themselves to some institution who most likely gives no damns about the health of their relationships. We own a bakery and operate only 5 days a week yet still maintain respectful relationships with our clients, all the best restaurants in town. I believe the more people reap the fruit of laying down boundaries for the sake of spending more family time etc, the more respect you’ll see you get professionally. Turns out there’s a gravity to being someone who sews to all around health and not just achievement. This was a great read. Thanks!

I loved how much fun you had doing what was on the really important list: enjoying playful time with your daughter. Those moments are precious.
