Life can be tough at times, and we all go through struggles that can leave us feeling drained, exhausted, and overwhelmed. It’s crucial to remember that it’s okay to take time to recover from these tough times, to give ourselves the space and care we need to heal.

We live in a world that tells us we always need to be pushing forward and achieving more, but sometimes taking a step back and looking after ourselves is exactly what we need. We need to stop feeling guilty for taking a break, for slowing down, for prioritizing our mental and emotional health. It’s okay to prioritize ourselves before others. It’s okay to say no to things that drain us, chase away the feelings that are lingering in our brains, and focus on ourselves and our recovery.

The journey of recovery is different for everyone. It’s not a linear path and can look like a series of steps forward, backward and sideways at times. It can feel overwhelming and frustrating to not make as much progress as you expected, to get caught up in comparing yourself with the people around you, and even worse is when we hold ourselves to high expectations, unable unable to achieve them due to setbacks and our vulnerabilities only pulls us down.

It’s tough to take time off life’s storms, admit when it’s too much, and show up each day to work on mending what’s taken a blow. Most times society does not validate our struggles enough and viewed as over-reactions, hence people are met with disregard, guilt, and shame for giving themselves space to work on their growth. It’s a hard that moulds your character.

We must also remember that recovery isn’t something we have to do alone. Whether we find support through close relationships, friends too or an online friend such as in online communities, sharing our journey and engaging provides an outlet for emotional support. It’s essential not to isolate ourselves during our recovery journey– it is a sensitive time for growth, and engaging with fanned online communities can afford to our well being, new perspective can be introduced to help navigate recovery.

It is important to have kinder conversations, both inward and aspirationally when interacting with society. For people recovering, keep constant watch of delayed iterations of growth as you continue to prioritize maintaining a stable mental health state. It may consume several iterations of moves and decisions to repair ourselves naturally, though with patience, it can feel like victory once we breakthrough our previous struggles.

The path to recovery isn’t easy, and it’s often messy and complicated, with ups and downs that can leave us feeling like we’re making no progress at all. We need to remember that recovery isn’t a quick fix, it’s an ongoing journey that requires patience, self-compassion, and plenty of love and support. When we allow ourselves time to recover and prioritize our emotional and mental well-being, we come out stronger and healthier than ever before.

We need to be kinder to ourselves, compassionate with the people in our circle, and change the narrative around mental and emotional health to recognize that recovering from tough times is not weak, it is brave and deserves applause, every step take always. Most importantly giving yourself grace, flexibility, and taking your journey as it comes without struggling to fit into the distorted narrative that society perpetuates about progress and recovery.

In conclusion, it’s okay to take time to recover from a tough time. It is beneficial to let others help, give yourself grace, and release the burden of perfection we arise upon ourselves. Remember that recovery is not linear, but watching itself uniquely traversing its journey. Allocate time to engage in community supports, lovingly talk yourself through your struggles and cherish small progress as they come. Keep on going!
