Report Pending
Not every test needs to be about blood levels,
sometimes… you should run a scan on your heart too.
.
Maybe it’s not your hemoglobin that’s low
maybe your patience ran out somewhere between
“it’s okay” and “I’m tired.”
.
Maybe it’s not a vitamin deficiency,
maybe you just haven’t felt
a little genuine warmth in a while.
.
Calcium seems fine, sure
but your backbone?
slightly bent… from always adjusting for others.
.
And this “I’m fine” report
you keep handing out like free samples
have you ever actually verified it
with yourself?
.
Because the real deficiencies
don’t show up in lab results.
.
They show up in late replies,
in cancelling plans you once looked forward to,
in saying “it’s nothing”
when it clearly… isn’t.
.
But hey,don’t panic.
This is pretty standard these days.
A little broken, a little tired,
a little too good at pretending
welcome to the package deal 😄
.
Just… once in a while,
put yourself back on your own priority list.
.
Before one day the report reads:
Personality: Low
Care for self: Critically low
.
Prescription:
Take a break.
And maybe… take yourself seriously for once.
.

Splendid! 😍
The fact that personality and self-care levels don’t show up in lab tests is true, and that lab tests (vitamin, hemoglobin, and so on) don’t necessarily reflect that we’re doing fine when it comes to personality and self-esteem. 👍
We pretend that we’re doing fine, yet we are actually stressed, tired, overthinking, and so on.
Your prescription is correct! ☺️💜
This means a lot, thank you ☺️🤍✨
You said it so well what we carry inside rarely shows up in reports.
We learn to look “fine,” but feeling fine is a different story altogether.
Glad this resonated with you 💫🤍✨
You’re welcome 💜
Yeah, it resonated with me ☺️ and you’re spot on 👍
I do hope one day there would be a burnout meter! Until then need to take breaks without the guilt!
Haha, a burnout meter would save us all 😄
Till then… taking breaks without guilt is probably the most honest self-care we’ve got 💫
Magnesium Complex help
Thanks for sharing 🙂 Magnesium can help in some cases… but it’s not the whole picture 💫
Absolutely correct 💯
True Rajeshwari
Normal Lab Reports never mean we are OKAY
So true Nusrat. 💛
“Normal” doesn’t always mean okay some things stay unseen. 🤍✨
Quietly powerful… this hits deeper than it first appears.
A gentle reminder that not all wounds show up in reports some just sit silently within.
That means a lot..thank you so much Vijay ji. 💛
You’re so right… the deepest things rarely show up in reports; they reveal themselves in the quiet ways we carry, cope, and keep going.🤍✨
I’m really glad it resonated with you sometimes just feeling understood is a kind of healing in itself. 🤍✨
You’re right, positive affirmations do wonders in this regard. Moreover the placebo effect is real.💐💗
True… belief itself can be the first step towards healing.🤍✨
We all need this “executive health check up package”
Very true 😄 Most of us are walking around with “normal reports” and exhausted souls 🤍
