Above: Stills from Naz & Maalik, an amazing film I had the opportunity to work on years back!
Hi Friends! About every third day I wake up all excited to have time on my hands and feeling like there is so much to do! And, then 2 hours in I dissolve into a puddle of nothingness where I remain for the rest of the day. Today was that day! I accomplished….absolutely nothing. I tried to read - couldn’t focus. I tried to watch a movie - made it only a half an hour through. I did stretch! I started to write. But, mostly, I sat around with my thoughts feeling paralyzed. Awesome. But, I have started to change my perspective on this - I think this is absolutely allowed. Perhaps by giving in to the lethargy, you are doing a whole lot!
Here’s a cool article that someone shared about pressure to produce in this time and how that it might not be the best thing for you. For me, every third day is a wash. But, maybe I need that to digest this situation. Our brains, hearts and spirits are working overtime right now…and we only have time to absorb this. Be gentle to yourselves! It’s ok to do nothing.

A friend posted the above online and I do think it’s very useful and affirming!
