How do you deal with guilt and shame when you really want to get out of bed and get everything done but you physically are not able because you need the sleep in order to recover from the previous day? This usually happens to me when I have a day off and need to use it to meet upcoming deadlines and catch up on things.

I try to not put guilt on myself those day. I let myself know that without having the proper amount of energy, I wouldn’t be able to do my task correctly or in a timely matter and because of that, I’d probably get frustrated which would make matters worse. I have these days often, due to my work schedule, and just talking myself through being exhausted and needing to recharge usually helps.

It is good that you are acknowledging this issue and that you do want to persevere. Changing your outlook to see this as a you taking a necessary day for yourself would help remove the guilt because you are using the day to empower you and revitalise yourself. If anything, this is a rich fabulous day.

Your body needs to be taken after before everything else, it is irreplaceable and you won’t be able to do anything anyway if you burn yourself out.

Self care is more important than anything else. If you are tired, you cannot expect to perform well. If you are sitting in bed doing nothing, maybe do some work at your bed on your off day in order to relax and get work accomplished.

How I deal with it now is by just getting up and doing one easyish task. While I’m doing that I think about what else I have to do. By thinking about it and planning out my next move it helps me get to my next task. Some days however, your just drained and need to recoup. On those days I just remind myself that rest is needed too and to not overwork myself.

I really don’t know! I have the same problem. These days my weekends are so valuable because I have a exam in 2 month but I sleep alot on weekends. The thing that I try to do is to look at it as my challenge and not my problem then I feel less shameful and try to find a way to solve it. If you need the sleep why to shame! Just try harder the rest of the day and compensate. If you sleep alot then figure out why. If your time is same as me or close we can be our accountability person. Text me if u like.

I accept that my spirit, mind and body is asking for rejuvenation and time to rest. It is an opportunity to reflect and focus on those needs. I understand I am more productive if these aspects of my self are balanced and rejuvenated.

I feel im wasting my time not being productive and i wish i could regulate my sleep so i can wake like a normal person does.

I get how you feel sometimes I don’t feel like moving in the morning because the day before was bad. My mom normally forces me out of bed but now I’ve been starting to do it myself. Keep a glass of water beside you and drink a few sips once you wake up (from your alarm). This will slowly get you moving for the day and also right next to your bed to some stretching or yoga that energises you too. Hope this helped ♥️

I usually take a warm shower , meditate for sometime , relax and and say to myself "let bygones be bygones." It motivates me to start a new new day with a fresh mind. And also a big smile pulls everything together!😊
