We Can Do Hard Things But Not Hard Pants

Midweek Wordspell #5

‘Tis the season to be comfy! So I’m here with some midweek encouragement to tell you that you don’t have to put on hard pants.

A lot of people believe this time between Christmas and New Year’s is one where the portals of power open up and a potent vortex of energy is whirpoolin’ away for you to dive into so that you can manifest your deepest desires and dreams for the year.

I believe that! I also believe that December 24-Jan 1st is a week and a half equivalent of a strange bermuda triangle calendar where we’re still trying to pretend like life is normal—show up to work, be “productive,” get stuff done—but nothing really needs to happen before the end of the year, and we really should just trust the infinite wisdom of the stars and planets telling us it’s time to chilllllllll already.

So put on those sweats. Drink that tea. Read a cozy book in bed. Do projects if you want to, BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO.

And if you absolutely have to do work-y stuff, can I recommend wearing pants that look like hard pants but feel like sweats?

Or maybe a softpants headwrap? You do you.
