chapter 41
you deserve a beautiful sunday
i recently got a comment from a follower that said: “Thank you! I’m spending the day outside enjoying our beautiful weather and getting a pumpkin coffee instead of doing my usual 8-hour Sunday clean. It’s so not necessary. I will instead do a 2-hour clean when I get home.” It made me want to do a happy dance! She nailed it. Yes, if we want to go enjoy a beautiful Sunday, we will need clothes to wear. That’s the benefit of having some laundry done. Our body will need to be able to have the strength and energy to carry us during our beautiful Sunday activities, and that’s the benefit of feeding it. You may want to wear your new hat or read a book at the park, and that’s the benefit of a space that allows you to find what you need. All of these things are functional, not moral. You do not need to complete eight hours of care tasks in order to deserve a day at the park. You can enjoy your day and then spend two hours bringing things into functional order so you can enjoy your upcoming week as well. That is the life-changing result of internalizing that you do not exist to serve your space, your space exists to serve you.
Care tasks exist for one reason only… to make your body and space functional enough for you to easily experience the joy this
world has to offer.
