Transparency is very important to me. I believe it is something our world lacks & needs more of.
With that, I want to share that today is one of those days that I am really struggling mentally.
Those words are hard to write because it almost feels like admitting defeat.
I haven’t had the energy to create anything because by Friday, I am mentally, physically & emotionally exhausted from the week.
Not creating anything then makes me feel as though I’ve wasted the entire day.
When I feel unmotivated, I have a tendency to scroll mindlessly through social media… which, usually makes me feel worse. lol I begin comparing myself to the people who seem to have all the energy, motivation, and drive in the world.
But today, I am reminding myself that perfection is not real. it is okay to be tired. It is okay to need rest. In fact, rest is necessary & it does not mean that I am failing.
Today I am choosing to listen to my body and be extra gentle with myself.
I want to remind you to do the same. If you’ve been feel unmotivated, stuck, hopeless, drained… you’re not alone.
The way you feel right now is not permanent. Celebrate your small wins… even if its just that you made it out of bed, brushed your teeth & managed to shower and put on clean clothes.
Life is not easy. emotions are not easy. Tomorrow will come. but for today, be gentle with yourself & do something that will make you smile & feel good.
Most importantly, try not to be so hard on yourself.
With love,
Ashley
