These days, I've noticed something about myself. 🤔
No matter what I do, I somehow end up feeling guilty.
If I'm working, I feel guilty that I'm not giving enough time at home.
If I'm at home, I feel guilty that I'm not doing enough for my career.
If I rest, I feel guilty.
Even when I'm earning, sometimes it still feels like I'm not earning enough. 💭
And somehow, this guilt doesn't just stay in my head.
At work, I keep pushing myself because slowing down feels like falling behind. 💻
In relationships, I sometimes say yes even when I want to say no because disappointing someone feels worse. ❤️🩹
And with my health, I keep ignoring what my body is asking for because there is always something or someone else that feels more important. 🫠
And honestly? It gets exhausting.
Because no matter which choice I make, there is always a part of me thinking...
“You should be doing more.”
Whenever I share this with someone, I usually hear:
“You think too much.”
But I don't think that's the problem.
The problem is...
*Why am I thinking like this in the first place?* 🤔
Why does resting make me uncomfortable?
Why does choosing myself sometimes come with guilt?
Why does doing enough never actually feel like enough?
And then I started wondering something.
*What if every belief I have isn't entirely mine?*
What if some of the things I feel so strongly today are patterns I have been watching, learning and carrying for years without even realising it?
Maybe some things don't start with us.
Maybe they start much earlier. 🌿
And that thought took me somewhere I wasn't expecting.
I'll tell you where next. 👀
*Have you ever felt guilty no matter what you do? Comment “ME” if this feels a little too familiar. 💬👇*
