Hi Everyone, Greetings from MingCha! How have you been?
Have you ever had the time that you feel pressured with work and obligations that you could not handle?
Haven't been in touch since I was overwhelmed with many happenings all at one time: birthday celebrations, reunions and gatherings, internship offer, tea tasting workshops for customers and events for clients, gift orders for clients, and the list goes on...
I should be blessed to have so many exciting activities going on but I feel deeply that my mental and physical state could not handle them all. Fatigue and sign of depression appeared. It is time to stop.
When you are stressed, your immune system is weak. Last month, after lunch with my family, I was not feeling well in the evening (aching joints, headache, fever). Taking the RAT test the next day, it was positive, I was diagnosed with Covid. Severe sore throat came afterwards, but it was not the worst part, prolonged mucus irritation and losing my sense of smell and taste were killing. I failed to perform as a normal person 😱
Low energy level deterred me from doing anything. I had no choice but to delegate the daily work and projects to my team, stop updating on social media; sending out newsletters, etc. It was not a pleasant or comfortable feeling for me at the beginning but as my son put it: "Nothing can stop you from your busy schedule. It was God's plan to have you finally stop."
It took almost a month for me to recover and to regain my senses. Looking back, I should be grateful for this "Do Nothing" as it changed the way I see what's ahead.
Be present, let go and accept what's happening is the best option.
Warm regards,
Vivian Founder MingCha
