Some days we can’t get up: we physically hurt from emotional turmoil from the day or weeks before, we’ve eaten something that does not agree with our system, we are physically sick, have some mental issues to deal with, or we deal with chronic pain. It’s OK. Not every day is perfect.
Some days we can’t stay up. We may have managed to get ourselves off of the bed and to work for a while, whether on the job or at home; but now there isn’t enough of ourselves to continue on. That’s OK. Go easy on yourself. You have put forth an effort and have done what you were able to do.
Some days we just flop over in bed because it’s just too hard to get up or we flop onto our comfortable chair in the living room shortly after we get up. We may be dealing with depression or recovering from surgery. Getting up off of the bed just is not on our list of things to do for today. It’s OK. Take a break. We all need one now and then. Sometimes we need several of them in a row. This is OK too. It’s just our turn to do it.
Some days we fall over. Literally. With one tired eye open we stumble to the bathroom. Along the way we trip over the shoes we thought we had pushed aside the night before. We may trip over the dog or cat that get under our feet as we make our way to the kitchen for their morning feed.
Some days we aren’t social. The last thing we feel like is socializing: in person, on the phone, or online. It does not matter. We are in no mood to talk. If the pain would just go away for a while we might be interested in socializing, but not right now. This too is OK. Sometimes we just need some solitude to collect our thoughts.
Some days we just don’t want to participate. We have no explanation or understanding as to why our bodies or minds do not want to participate, but we don’t. That’s OK. Not all days have to be full of activity. We may even be sore from participating yesterday.
I have even had my fair share of all the days described above. My life is not perfect. I have dealt with emotional and physical pain that has kept me from getting off of the bed. I have managed to stay up for a while, but crashed in the middle of the day. I have flopped over in bed and flopped into my recliner shortly after getting up for the day because there wasn’t enough of me or I was recovering from surgery. I have fallen down stairs and in the shower. Each time I injured the same knee, but in different places. I have tripped over shoes getting ready for bed. I have had plenty of days when I have not felt like socializing and other days I have not wanted to participate. All of these things have been for a variety of reasons.
Other days we do feel like getting up, staying up, socializing, participating, and we actually stay upright without tripping over anything. These have been the most productive days in my life. I get the laundry done and I get other things done. I feel good about myself at the end of the day.
But the Some Days have taught me that it’s OK. There is a reason for these things to happen. Usually it is because I push myself too hard on my Other Days. Sometimes it’s because I need to take a time out, to reflect on something I haven’t had time to process. The difference between my Some Days and my Other Days is that I don’t stay indefinitely on my Some Days. Even on my Some Days I do everything I can so that I can say that I did the best I could. It might not be perfect, but it’s the best I had to give, to offer, or to be.
My Some Days have taught me to accept myself for who I am. My Some Days have taught me how to accept others for the things they go through. My Some Days have taught me how to love myself and how to talk to myself. Self acceptance, love, and talk are all important ingredients for overcoming disabilities and dysfunctions. When we do our best, we can feel good about our days and about ourselves.
