What a delightful experiment in self-care and mindfulness! Balancing life’s responsibilities with moments like this is essential. It’s great to embrace these pauses for yourself—it’s not laziness; it’s recalibration. However, remember that our responsibilities can coexist with joy. Taking a "cat day" occasionally is a healthy way to recharge, but blending this mindset into daily life, even in small ways, might make the hustle feel less overwhelming. You’ve beautifully captured what it means to truly live in the moment.
