Sometimes life can become draining, and sometimes one finds themselves in a rut. The solution, as I found yesterday, may take some bravery, and it may take unconventional measures…you know, you may have to take an uncomfortable step.
One thing I’ve always been jealous of, and I’m far from that individual, is this statement: “I’ve never missed a day of work!” I can’t say that.
My attendance isn’t horrible, but it isn’t stellar either. For example, yesterday, while feeling like I simply needed to release the tension, and break a habit that was becoming dangerously close to addiction, I made a gutsy move…I called in sick. I just needed to relax, and I needed to collect my thoughts.
I’m not proud of that move. Mainly, missing work is a sign of incompetence, laziness or a blatant disregard for one’s coworkers. However, self care is an important thing, and, when trying one’s best day after day, sometimes a break, whether given or not, needs to be taken.
I’m not encouraging one to skip work. I’m just saying that one should know their limits, and they should realize how to manage their emotional well being. Yesterday, whether I realized it or not, I was in dire need of rest.
No home upkeep
No exercise
No work
Just a day to enjoy a few simple things…as I felt the pulls of withdrawals.
So that’s what I did, and today I feel right…much better than yesterday. I also made a few vows to myself. Right now, it’s imperative that I keep them.
Have an Excellent Day!
