RT PsychCentral: Mental Health and Self-care: When You Can’t Give Your All to Your Work General MentalHealth
In my over 20 years of working, I’ve learned that, when it comes to your mental health, pushing yourself just isn’t worth it. Sometimes you can’t be your best. And sometimes your work suffers.
In the beginning of the week, I was determined to cram it in. To get up even earlier each morning. To still produce a thorough, polished piece. But I’ve been too foggy. Drained. Overworked. And trying to accomplish something creative in addition to the millions of things running through my head has not been possible.
The truth that sometimes there isn’t enough time in the week to do everything that needs to be done. And that you’ll still need to take time to practice self-care. Unfortunately, my blog suffered. But my mental health didn’t. Because it came first.
