Today is a "grind" day for me, but I suspect that has to do with a minor illness. In my case, I think those feelings of "grind" have come from 2 places: a)not honoring what I am rather than what I think I should be. My choices of profession have been based largely to do with what has been easy for me to do and what others think I should do. The right work is not a grind every single day. b)simply attempting to do too much. It's taken me years to acknowledge how critical rest is to my mental health. I'm still working on it.
