While growing up, I never came across a woman who was relaxed and calm.
I met successful and productive women, but there were plenty of women who were anxious, fearful, and apologetic.
I have seen many women who are afraid to take up space in the world and cannot prioritise rest, pleasure, and play.
Women who feel guilty and apologise for taking a break feel like they need to earn it.
I am not sure if I have ever met a relaxed woman who can give herself unconditional permission to relax and take a break without any guilt or apology.
However, I would like to become one, and I hope all women can become one too.
