As an awesome human being, what do you truly deserve?

Today, much like any other day, I found myself burdened down with things to do and not enough energy to do them, yet alone think about them. The thought popped into my head, "I wish I could just sit and watch tv. I deserve it."

Something in my mind came alive as if it wanted to strangle the thought- "You deserve it? You deserve to put off responsibilities? education? work? etc? Just so you can watch Gilmore Girls?"

Now, this does NOT mean that we shouldn't ever watch movies, tv, or be entertained. We need to to care of our bodies, and relaxation is an important part of self-care.  But today, I learned to never say, "I deserve to watch tv." Because I'm awesome. And I deserve to become more awesome.

Just a thought.
