For the past 2 months, I haven’t really struggled with Working From Home. I don’t miss my commute, and I rarely struggle to focus.
However, I found the beginning of this week difficult.
I was sleeping poorly. I was feeling lethargic. I felt unstructured. I felt off.
My natural tendency is to break everything down and figure out what’s going wrong. And perhaps my biggest win this week was choosing to not do that.
Instead, I sat on my couch, paused for a minute, and told myself, “Whatever you’re feeling right now is okay. You don’t need to have it all together.”
There is a certain power and liberation that comes with admitting that, and admitting it publicly, too.
With most of us still in lockdown, I’m sure some of you will have had these days, too. The above isn’t a prescription (I wouldn’t do that to you!), but rather a small reminder that if you’re not feeling 100%, you’re not alone.
