do you know productivity guilt?

do you also feel guilty as soon as you want to start prioritize your own mental healt by just taking a break?

I grew up with hard working parents, until now, they never stop working, i think i inherited their work mindet haha. But i´m not gonna lie, its not a healthy mindset, but it is very hard to lay off. You know whats also an issue? Social Media. I am so annoyed by the stupid "influencers" that try to tell you to wake up at 5am everyday, go to the gym every morning, eat healthy, maintain social contact and work. I mean it is so unrealistic for normal people like us, you get me? And i find myself in moments where i am super tired and then i want to take a break, but then guilt comes over me, and i get up and do sth just to be "productive".

But lemme tell you, it is so unnessecary and also self-destroying. I mean, every human is individual and special, just because some guy tells you on instagram, that he does this and that everyday, does not mean, that they actually do it, i mean, its social media. They always want to show their "best" side. On the other hand you dont need to wake up at 3am just to be productive, if you have the flexibility to wake up at 9am, then let it be! Enjoy it, dont pressure yourself, because we are doing our best already right? Every person has there own tempo and their own problems to conquer, so never feel guilty for caring for yourself.

So we need to train our mind, to only focus on our selfs and tell us: "I am doing my best, and i do deserve a break once in a while.". And remember, when you dont take any breaks, youll be overworked and eventually burned-out. And then, you wont be able to get anything done, for a couple of weeks.
