To A Person Who Feels Useless, I Know You Are Trying Your Best
This is not a motivational post.
It is hard to admit, but sometimes I feel very useless. There are some mornings when I just don't want to wake up or go to my classes. There are some mornings when I just can't be productive. There are just some mornings when I want to make a coffee and watch my favorite films because I feel so useless.
And I know you had those mornings too.
But what happens when you can't be as active as you have to? What is even heavier than the feeling of uselessness? Guilt. So usually when I feel useless, I feel guilty for it. And this is a killing combination of feelings.
So please hear me- stop blaming yourself if you feel tired! Guilt will not help you to get rest and enjoy your day. Guilt will never fulfill you. You just need to accept that those days happening sometimes, and you might not feel well, not feel productive or energized. There is nothing bad about it, you are a human, not a robot. Just relax.
I learned to "let it go" and some days not going as planned. For example, the Monday after a daylight saving time change, I just flow with it, without any self-shaming. In those moments, I feel that I love myself, I accept myself, I feel vulnerable but strong at the same time.
To someone who's reading this, don't blame yourself. It is ok to be tired. Don't be afraid to ask for help or support. Miracles happening when we start to fully listen to ourselves, accept ourselves, and love ourselves.
And if today is the day, just relax, get some rest, watch your favorite TV show, be silly, sleep a lot, this is your chance to take a break from that busy life you have every day. You are the best, just know it!
