I had one of those days this week.
Low energy.
Light-headed.
Brain fog.
Body feeling super heavy.
And of course… the to-do list was long.
So there I am, staring at the list and feeling that familiar voice start up.
“You’re falling behind.”
“You should be doing more.”
If I’m really honest, a part of me still ties my worth to how much I get done in a day.
But — and this is the part that changed everything for me —
I stopped trying to argue with that voice using fake positivity.
Instead I say something that’s simply true.
“This is a slow day. Slow doesn’t mean failure.”
And I repeat it until my nervous system settles down, sometimes over 20 times.
It sounds simple, but it has helped me more than I expected.
Not because the hard days disappear.
But because I don’t pile shame on top of them anymore.
👉🏼Do you ever notice your mind going straight to guilt on low-energy days? If so how do you handle it?
