When this lockdown situation first began, everyone seemed to have these long lists of what they were going to do, when they were going to do it and how they were going to do it. I kind of was guilty of this too; I didn’t necessarily have a list but I had told myself “I’ve gotta utilise this time as much as possible”
But as time has passed, I’ve realised that maybe I just want to use this as downtime to rest, recharge and figure out what it is I’m actually doing with my life.
Yeah, I still wanna work out, I still wanna practise recipes and make some real progress with my book(s), but at the same time I’ve still got a lot of thinking and evaluating to do.
I’d love to be one of those people who can knock out daily content but that’s just not me. Everything you see on this website, Instagram and Twitter is all done by me, myself and I. It’s a lot for one person to do alone, as well as to try to co-ordinate other projects and still have a life.
I’d love to finish tidying my room so I could have more space but my energy levels haven’t really allowed me complete that task fully, yet.
I’ve had this sense of guilt for not doing much and not achieving the (kind of) goals that I had set for myself but I keep trying to tell myself that I am not anyone else and nobody else is me; just because others are able to do stuff everyday it doesn’t mean that I have to, too.
As time goes on, I’m seeing more posts kind of reflecting this thought process that we don’t all need to be running around, doing millions of different things. We don’t all have to climb the same mountain
Essentially, what I’m trying to say is this – don’t feel bad if you’ve not been doing much, you’re definitely not the only person who’s not been doing much and you shouldn’t let anybody make you feel guilty for taking some down time.
We’re all different people; with different skills and abilities.
Nobody is you; that is your power
