✨ Yes, I'm generally a positive person.
✨ Yes, I love what I do to the point that every now and then I have to pinch myself to see if I'm not dreaming.
😩 And yes, there are days when I struggle to get anything done at all.
😶🌫️ On those days, I feel like I'm moving under water and I never know quite how to handle the feeling.
😡 How do I snap out of it, and get on with what needs to be done?
But then I remind myself, Im only human and I'm not a robot.
Just because I'm happy with everything I have, it does not mean I can't ALSO be tired.
It's not either/or.
For me, the best thing to do in those moments is simply retreat into my shell for a while and stop forcing myself to be "productive".
Because it ends up being counter productive. I just sit and stare at my screen feeling too guilty to stop because I haven't produced anything useful and too tired to think.
💤 💤 💤 I've found that spending some time alone and doing absolutely nothing "productive" ends up being the best choice for me. It allows me to breathe a little, gather my thoughts and continue again once I'm feeling ready.
🪷 Isn't it time to normalise that we can't only be "efficient" and "performing" all the time and that it's normal to have an off day without feeling guilty about it?
