It’s a Wednesday evening, I finished work at 4pm, was home by 4:30 and have been in bed ever since. This was not the plan.
I’m letting myself have sad girl hour(s).
My original plans for this afternoon were to clean my room, catch up on my readings, head to boxing and then have a group assignment catch up on zoom. I’m going to achieve at least two of these so I can’t be too hard on myself and lets be honest I’m not going to be hard on myself at all because sometimes we just need to lay down and feel our feelings.
The feelings you feel each day may seem silly but you’re probably feeling them for a reason. Ask yourself why you’re feeling something, then ask yourself why again and again until you can find a solution or at the very least a basic understanding. I do this brain exercise daily and todays conclusion is that my body is delighted that I’m not pregnant so its doing the incredible and natural thing called a period. It is wearing me out.
I am basically just wanting to say that it’s okay to not do everything you plan to do. But you should try and figure out the root of your feelings so you can address it and move on swiftly. But not too swiftly! I suggest you let yourself feel the feelings for a while, don’t just shrug them off.
Also be kinder to yourself with your to do lists. Sometimes (everyday) waking up is enough. If you’re feeling extra spicy then each day try to wake up AND make your bed! This helps me feel accomplished. Even on my sad girl days.
xoxo love from your resident sad girl
