When Doing Your Best Still Feels Like Failing

When doing your best still feels like failing, it can be hard to tell whether you’re actually falling behind or just measuring yourself by impossible expectations. This reflection was sparked by a really kind comment from the wonderful ‪@naysae‬ whose positive, comforting content I’ll always happily recommend. I talk about feeling guilty for not doing enough, the shame of not keeping up, internalized capitalism, burnout, and why output is not the whole story. This is also a small life update after work stress, illness, a hospital stay, and upcoming surgery. If you’ve been feeling behind in your own life, I hope this gives you a little more room to be human. #selfcompassion #burnoutrecovery #mindfulliving
