I’m isolated from my family due to having Covid. I think I’ve been managing my mind well around the fact that I have Covid, but what’s actually causing me so much stress is my thoughts about how I should be spending this time isolated in my bedroom.

As I start to feel better, I keep thinking I should use this time to write more and work on my business, or read, or clean through my closet, or revise my calendar for when I am out of quarantine.

It’s kind of shocking to me that even though I am sick, I can’t give myself the grace and flexibility to not be “doing” and “producing”. It feels as if I am being lazy instead of giving myself the rest and time I need to get better.

Can you please help me process through this? Thank you.
