rut or rust?💋

My Dear Upper East Readers,

Welcome or welcome back to Chic Candy Chronicles, I was initially making an entirely different post, but I had woken up late the other day. My entire schedule got a huge whiplash and that had been happening for quite some time now, but now I'm back at it. In this post, I'm gonna tell you all about how to save a half-assed day, and why you do that in the first place.

I have always struggled with trying to find out what my body needs me to do, and I give credit to my nervous system for being in survivor mode for almost my entire life. Now that I've come out of it and understood the needs of my body and mind, I'm gonna tell you exactly how you can fix yourself and stop procrastinating.

2 years ago, my first thought, after I woke up later than usual, would begin with 'Why can't I do just one thing right?' and somehow ended with 'I need to punish myself and put myself through anguish to make myself realize the biggest mistake that I made today that would cost me an entire day.' and then I would just be grumpy the entire day and not do a single thing and actually waste that entire day.

And now, my first thought is always, 'It's okay, it's not my fault, I still have tomorrow and the entire day today and my entire life.' and ended with 'If I worked a bit harder for the next two days then I could easily catch up with my work and everything would still be alright.' Of course, this didn't happen overnight and there are still some days when I just beat myself up over it, but I am gentler with myself, I am kinder and I will always forgive myself because I would never want anyone else to beat themselves up over something as minor as this, why would I let myself go through such misery? Yes, for the moment, it might seem catastrophic to think that you wanted to do something so badly and in the end, it doesn't happen but think of it this way, your body takes rest when it needs to, not when you think that it should. 

If I'm being completely honest here, out of 7 days, I only wake up at the time that I wanted to for maybe 3 days, the rest, I just try my very best. I'm not saying that if I really wanted to, I wouldn't do it, of course I can, but I give myself permission to fail and try again, because no matter how many times it may happen, I still haven't given up, nor will I ever give up on myself. Now about saving a half-assed day, the best thing I can tell you is to take on only how much ever you can, your body is already demanding you to rest but there are some scenarios where you can't just take a break, so tend to yourself as much as possible and do not take on more than what you need to complete that day, you can get back into it the next day and work a bit harder over the next few days. If you can, take the day slowly and just relax, think of it as your mind giving you a day off and just live. 

Now I don't want to make this any longer, but never fret, my Upper East readers, your girl is coming back with so many ideas for so many posts.

Until then,

Stay chic and candy
