STOP FEELING GUILTY
I know the title might be a little ‘clickbaity’ but, as the whole world is going through a pandemic and the current climate has left everybody feeling shaken and as though their world has been flipped upside down, I think it’s time we stopped making others feel guilty by shaming those who aren’t feeling as productive as others.
Whenever I log onto social media, it seems that there is a whole influx of people almost boasting of their new records from their home workouts, their new baking skills, their new YouTube videos, blogs, social media content which don’t get me wrong is amazing, however, just because there are others out there who aren’t up for doing home workouts, or they’re feeling too low to be focusing on learning a new skill or perhaps even do anything, does not mean that they’re ‘lazy’ or any less than the person next to them.
The news over the past few months has felt scary at times with bold, dramatic headlines in the news and daily updates from our Prime Minister (here in the United Kingdom), so it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed and a little drained right now, because I know I have felt this way and if you’re reading this and you too feel this way, then just try remember that this isn’t a sprint and that just because others are out there doing things at home doesn’t mean you should feel compelled to either.
Take this time to rest, recharge your batteries and find what makes you happy! If you are struggling then here are some charities/services to help with your mental health:
