Severe cold..

  The weather is changing, and many of us are susceptible to catching a cold. Unfortunately, I am no exception, and this week I found myself dealing with the familiar symptoms of a cold. Despite the inconvenience and discomfort, I tried to force myself to work on my tasks. However, it went bad, so I changed my plan. I made sure to rest as much as possible, drink plenty of fluids, and take some over-the-counter cold medicine to alleviate my symptoms.

  One thing that can be frustrating about having a cold is feeling like I’m not able to be as productive as usual. As someone who takes pride in being able to work efficiently, it can be hard to accept that sometimes our bodies need us to slow down. But I tried to reframe my mindset and remind myself that taking care of myself is a form of productivity too.

  I stopped feeling guilty about taking some time off to get healthy. Hope to get back to full strength.
