Everything seems harder when you're sick

🔥

This week I've been battling a cold. They never show up at a convenient time (if there is such a thing).

I'm in the middle of preparing for the launch of a new program, so need to be able to think and focus, I have a deadline to meet for my artwork and it's also busy with family catch-ups as we have seven birthdays in the space of 2 weeks.

With the sniffles, coughs, head congestion and general feeling unwell comes disturbed sleep, limited focus and lack of motivation.

The old me would have swallowed the cold pills and pushed through

Since being part of this group, though, I’ve noticed that I’m valuing myself, and my health, a little more.

So, I’ve taken my foot off the accelerator.

I’m still moving, just at a slower pace. I’ve let go of the expectation that everything needs to be finished or prepared well in advance, and I’ve allowed myself time to rest.

The tasks will still be there tomorrow. Resting now means I’ll be in a much better place to deal with them when I’m feeling well again.

What are you more likely to do when you’re unwell? Push through or take time to heal?
