Some days, you’re just “off”. It happens to me and in fact, it happened today. Despite being a fan of positivity and being proactive, some days I´m just not feelin´ it, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I’m so used to setting priorities, organizing my projects and taking the steps required to achieve a goal, that when I have a blah day I feel a little embarrassed to admit it, even to myself!
Jet-lagged and a tad overwhelmed by maternal, domestic and professional responsibilities, today I felt out of sorts.
At a certain point I resolved to do what I recommend to others when they tell me they’re having an “off” day: accept it!
From that point on, I found it easier to cope with.
I suggest that if you have a day or even a week when you are out of sorts, you be nice to yourself. If you are usually a doer, that is not going to change.
Don’t flagellate yourself. Be reminded of your virtues, the good things in life and accept that you cannot be 100% all of the time and that’s not a failure. Just like the tide, our mood and our energy ebb and flow.
On the other hand, if we did not have moments of apathy, we wouldn’t recognize those in which we are focused, motivated and energetic.
