You’ll get to it

“ About that floordrobe. Do you have one?

You could feel ashamed. You could also lament your laziness. You could use it to punish and berate yourself.

But instead? Try seeing it for what it is: a physical representation of what’s going on for you mentally.

When we’re mentally firing on all cylinders (rare, but it’s been known to happen), we don’t have a floordrobe, nor do we have piles of post to open, a list of cancelled plans, grubby hair, disorganised paperwork, an overflowing inbox, an empty fuel tank.

It sometimes takes us a while to catch up with what these physical manifestations are indicating, but we get there.

They typically illustrate that we might be overwhelmed, lacking energy and motivation, have bitten off more than we can chew, are struggling with anxiety, self-doubt and unworthiness, or that we might be unwell. They depict the messiness of our thoughts, the foggy head, the I’m-a-bit-done-in-ness.

They signal the need to stop. And here’s the important bit: to stop and not beat ourselves up about stopping, to not compare ourselves to those who we think wouldn’t ever have W floordrobe in the first place and to not put pressure on ourselves to get our ducks back in the straightest of rows. Just the need to stop and take stock.

And when we do that, clarity comes a-knocking. We’ve probably been feeling pretty squiffy for a while. It’s possible that our boundaries have gone a bit wonky again. It’s very likely that self-care has gone awry. It’s incredible that we’ve kept keeping on.

Whatever it is that you need right at this moment in time, get it. Prioritise it, make room for it, tell other people about it. It’s the very least you deserve.

That floordrobe? You’ll get to it. But first? Get to you.”
