I have a sinus infection, and I’ve had it for over a week now. I’m trying to rest, but I struggle with it. I always get stressed when I’m sick, and I feel guilty for not working.
I feel stressed because I feel guilty for not working, and also because I feel like I can’t be the best version of myself for my baby boy and my partner. But no one has complained except me -.-‘
I had a talk with my lead at work, and he also told me to rest and make sure I recover properly. I’m really grateful for the support I get from my job whenever I feel this way; it’s so appreciated and much needed.
So now, I’m just accepting the fact that I’m sick, and I’ll do my best to rest so I can recover as soon as possible. That also means healthy routines and meals, etc.
So I thought I’d share my morning routine for today with you guys:
I woke up at 5 AM because of my son; he was hungry. He had some milk and then fell asleep again with his dad.
I got up, brushed my teeth, and felt like I needed something warm to drink because of my sore throat. So I made a delicious “tea”: warm water with lemon, turmeric, and honey; an anti-inflammatory drink, you could say.
While drinking my “homemade tea,” I wrote in my gratitude journal to shift my energy and hopefully attract some good health. Then I meditated for about 10 minutes and did a bit more journaling to get my thoughts onto paper, because lately I’ve had way too many thoughts. I can’t keep up with all the open tabs in my brain at the moment… it’s crazy.
Then I started reading “The courage to be disliked” to rest and it felt good! I love this book so much. I learn so much!
So yeah, that was my morning routine today. I can’t wait to feel like myself again. Every time I get sick, I feel like I’ve taken my body for granted.
