My working week started how my weekend ended – in a haze of nothingness and brain fog. I\u2019ve struggled all this last week with concentration – even with basic tasks such as opening my emails and within a matter of seconds forgetting who I was emailing and what on earth for. Racking my brains (or lack thereof) to try and remember what I was supposed to be doing at any given time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To say it\u2019s been a difficult week is an understatement. It\u2019s been frustrating, in the sense that generally I like to be productive. I guess I feel a sort of sense of achievement for having been productive and having tangible outputs. Almost pride like – yes there are struggles, but on the whole I am functional and will not be typecast under a narrow minded and archaic definition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, it frustrates me nonetheless. I like to do<\/em>. I don\u2019t like to sit still<\/strong> – body or<\/em> mind. And the latter is probably where I don\u2019t help myself or give myself enough of a break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But this week, I\u2019m almost embraced the haziness and concentration struggles. I\u2019ve been patient and gentle with myself. Instead of berating myself for not remember what I was doing, or meant to be doing, I\u2019ve allowed myself to go through the motions – and emotions – to recognise it for what it is. A moment<\/strong>. An insignificant moment in my life. Literally and metaphorically. It doesn\u2019t really matter if I forget things, or have moments (or weeks) of fogginess, because those moments do pass. They are not defining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be kind to yourself, you\u2019re doing the best you can. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My working week started how my weekend ended – in a haze of nothingness and brain fog.
