@averyelizaaaa: This morning I woke up and told my husband I felt like a failure. I snoozed my alarm twice, got up an hour later than I planned, and immediately felt overwhelmed by everything I wasn’t doing. I don’t want to work. I don’t want to cook. I can’t get pregnant. I haven’t been putting energy into the things I love. I’m behind on content. I’m not working out enough. The list goes on. And my husband reminded me of two things: I’m not a failure, and God made me in His image, so how could I be? So I got up, made my coffee… and proceeded to waste another hour on Pinterest trying to plan Christmas gifts instead of exercising like I planned. 🙃 By 8:20, I had 30 minutes before I needed to start work. I wanted to just get ready and call the morning a loss. Instead, I decided to go downstairs and get a workout in. Did I want to? Absolutely not. I got in a quick full-body workout, took the coldest 2-minute shower of my life, and started my workday with messy hair and no makeup. And I felt SO much better. I know I’m incredibly blessed to work from home, have a home gym, and have the flexibility to do this. I don’t take that for granted. But I think the biggest thing I needed to remind myself today is that just because your day doesn’t start the way you planned, doesn’t mean the rest of it has to be that way. I spent 2.5 hours feeling sorry for myself, overwhelmed by everything I hadn’t done, and convincing myself I’d already failed. It only took 30 intentional minutes to reset my mindset. You don’t have to fix or figure out your entire life today. Sometimes you just need to do ONE thing that’s good for you. 🤍 #encouragement #SelfCare #selfloveclub #MentalHealth #infertility
