Are you happy where you are at in your life right now? Feeling content is something that I think we all struggle with at times, including myself.
We are all human beings and overthinking is a common thing. We all have these preconceived ideas and expectations of what society thinks we should be doing. Especially because I have a chronic illness, this can be difficult for me because I have to live my life a little bit differently than most people. With all of the uncertainty with the pandemic, we may not be content with where our lives are at right now because things are constantly changing and it can be hectic at times.
Regardless of what other people are doing or what they have achieved, we should be rewarding ourselves for what accomplishments we have made. For example, moms and dads that are prepping for home school because of the pandemic should be content because home schooling is probably not the easiest thing. For the college students that are taking online classes be content with the fact that you are taking the time to expand your knowledge and going to college to achieve a bigger goal. For the health care workers helping to save other people's lives, be content with the amazing impact you have on the community just by helping other people.
So don't get frustrated or angry at yourself for not being on the same path or level as someone else. Be content with what you are doing right now. If you are working hard for yourself and your family, you are doing the right thing. Reward yourself and be happy with your accomplishments. Be content with what you are doing right now and acknowledge all that you have done, and will do!
