ほっとできる小さな習慣を作っておこうという話。
今は在宅勤務なのでお茶いれたり香水つけたり深呼吸したり自由にできるけど、オフィス勤務だった頃は帰宅まで安らげなかったなぁ…。

drained

意味 疲れ切った.

Some days, I’m in need of some comfort. I’m tired, emotionally drained, or just feeling besieged by the world.

deplete

意味 (かたく)〈精力· 資金· 資源など〉を使い果たす(しばしば受け身で) .

Just noticing is a big step for most of us. We often don’t recognized when we’re feeling drained or a bit battered by life. We just focus on what we think we need to be doing, and just push through. This might feel necessary, but it’s rarely helpful, because we’re just forcing ourselves to act when we’re depleted or feeling confronted.

advocate

意味 (米) <…を> 主張 [擁護] する <for>

Today I’d love to advocate for small comforts. A nap is a great example, but there are so many more.

luxurious

意味 (気分· 身のこなしなどが) くつろいだ, 快適な

A luxurious stretch.

「贅沢な」の意味しか浮かばなくて??と思ったけど、この意味ならストレッチの様子としてぴったりだね。なるほど。

Curl

意味 〈人· 動物が〉体を丸める, 丸まって寝る (up)

Curling up with a good book.

本もいいね。小説の世界にすっと入れるので現実を少しだけ忘れられる。

savor

意味 〈活動· 経験〉を堪能する, かみしめる

Third: Let go of guilt. Despite what I said in the first two, this is not about “guilty pleasures,” because comforts when we need them are healthy and wonderful. See if you can give yourself full permission to savor these small pleasures.

そうか、食べ物を味わう以外の事にも使える単語なのね!
