In today's confession I talk about how for sometime I wanted/waiting to receive praise from other because I thought I needed to know that I was doing a good job at whatever project I was working on and when I didn't I would take it personally like it meant that what I was doing wasn't good enough and that I wasn't good enough. I had to learn to be proud of myself for the work I'm doing while knowing that even if I only get one listen or one like or one comment that someone wrote about what I was doing. I didn't have to apply more meaning to it about how I able worth to myself. It takes a lot of practice but is worth it at the end of each day. And wanted to share my feelings around this subject with you.

But I promise you that good days are coming even when you don't think they are because that's how I felt in the beginning of my depression, that I wished that I would just feel better and you know what?

So, today I just wanted to share with you what I've been going through and want to show you that even on my bad days I'm still showing up for my goals and dreams because nothings going to hold me back from living the life I've always dreamed of.

Lately I've been thinking about why I get so mad at myself for taking a rest day even when I know I need it. The other day, which was during the week. I knew that I had things I needed to get done but instead I decided to take a rest day since I was mentally burned out and just wasn't motivated at all but half way through the day I got upset with myself for not getting any work done when I knew I need this rest day and that made me think how many of us feel this way? How many of us punish ourselves for taking a day to rest and recover? When really it's okay to take a rest day, we as humans will over work ourselves until we are burnt out instead of just taking the time to relax and come back when we are ready, so in today's episode I address this topic and share my feelings around it. And I'm here to tell you that it's okay to rest and come back when your ready. Don't over do it. Learn how to take care of your body and mind before overthinking and over working your body because that's going to get you no where. So, today let's learn to rest more and worry less.
