Lazy

Yesterday, I told my therapist I felt like I was being lazy for taking my foot off the gas.

Lazy.

No one in my life has ever called me that.

Except me.

It is either: doing it all and going above and beyond or laziness.

I’ve always struggled with the extremes.

I can be very black and white.

And then I told my therapist all I was still doing in this “down time,” and he said:

That doesn’t sound lazy.

I said, “I guess you’re right.”

I tell y’all this because I’m confident I’m not the only attorney that struggles with this.

I’m confident I’m not the only #biglaw associate that struggles with this.

I don’t have the answers yet, beyond checking my thoughts and questioning them when I do.

I’m not lazy.

I might be tired, but I am not lazy.

Chances are: you aren’t either.
