‘Fear that no one will remember me if I don't do something worthwhile.’
While that resonates strongly among many people like yourself, you have to remember that if you are not doing something worthwhile for yourself first, then you are not going to be able to do anything worthwhile for anyone else. So don’t feel guilty or fearful of doing ‘nothing’ on days when you don’t feel like it as your body needs to just rest.
Remind yourself that you are precious and that you are able to help others only when YOU are able.
Thank you, I’ve been thinking about this over the last couple of weeks, so your reflection has been super helpful—sometimes you think, but can’t articulate, you’ve done this for me!
Have I been Productive?
Good advice to slow down and spend our energy wisely
