People apologise all of the time, whether it be for an genuine inconvenience or a preventable mistake, “sorry” is the first word that comes to mind.
But for some apologising comes as a reflex, something that is said out of habit rather than heart. Apologising is always going to be majorly important when it comes to communication, but some things simply should not be apologised for.
Here I have combined a list of things that I, and you should no longer apologise for.
Not Always Being Available
Stop feeling guilty for not being available to people, wether it be friends or family, just stop it altogether. Sometimes it can be hard to constantly make yourself available, after a busy week sometimes all you want is your own company. Don’t feel guilty about cancelling those plans or getting back to those messages. take some time for yourself and just relax! They should understand and you can reschedule those plans for another time.
2. Working At a Slower Pace
One of the worst things to do while working is ask others where they are at with their work also. You are both working to the same deadline, who cares if they are on 1,000 words and you are only on 200. It will both be done for the same date and in your own time when you are relaxed and ready to work at your own pace. There is no point in rushing.
3. How Long It Takes To Process Feelings
There is no correct answer when it comes to processing how you feel. For example, someone could take years to get over a break up and someone else could take a month. Don’t feel guilty about how you feel and take your time, if you are still hurt by something that happened months ago then let it be. You’re allowed to be sad (Just not for too long!)
4. Prioritising People That Matter Most
Not feeling guilty about who you spend your time with is super important. Nobody should be jealous of who you choose to spend your time with, and if they do then they are the ones to steer clear of. Spend time with those who matter to you most and make you feel the best version of yourself, it’s your life and you get to choose exactly who you want to live it with!
5. Not Knowing The Answer Straight Away
Take time to yourself and think. You don’t need to rush your train of thought, this can only lead to mistakes being made. When someone asks you to do something or a question you don’t quite know the answer to yet, don’t hesitate to get back to them when you know the answer for sure and are ready to tell them. Some things are worth thinking about.
6. Accepting And Appreciating Your Body As It Is
Your body is a beautiful. Stop comparing yourself to others and start looking at how amazing your body actually is. Appreciate your own skin, once you learn to love yourself you will see yourself flourish. There is nothing more beautiful than that.
