It’s ok to rest, it’s not being lazy

Today was one of those days that I felt exhausted from all of the days I have been actively combating my anxiety and panic disorder. In preparation for my new job I was really focused on trying to do everything I could to prevent my anxiety and panic disorder from being a problem on my first day. It doesn’t happen as much these days thankfully, but sometimes I will just have a day where I need to recharge from constantly being proactive when it comes to my mental health.

Thankfully today I had the day off ( thank you summer fridays) and instead of trying to push myself to do something, I let myself relax and catch up on my favorite tv shows. Sometimes I feel guilty or lazy when I need a day to recharge but I told myself today that it was important for me to recharge because the next few months at my job I will need all my strength and energy to show up and do my best.

Im thankful I had today off to recharge and also to slowly get comfortable with my new job and schedule. I’m excited for this new life of mine and I accept this change as a positive one whatever happens in the future. Today gave me the time to reflect on things And helped me to understand that I am exactly where I am supposed to be in my life.
