wellbeing How to overcome sick-day guilt It’s the phone call we all dread – letting your employer know you need a day off sick. But when your body is telling you it needs a break, it’s time to listen. So, how do we get past the guilt, to get the rest we need to recuperate? Writing | Katie Conibear We all know the feeling; you’ve woken up feeling terrible. You’re too sick to work, but there’s something in the pit of your stomach that stops you from making that call to your boss. You sit there watching the clock – you might even start getting ready to go in or log on – putting off a decision you know you have to make. You don’t want people to think you can’t cope with the job. You feel bad about colleagues having to cover your work, and don’t want to make life more difficult for anyone else. You’re worried that you might be judged for calling in sick, and it’ll affect performance reviews or your chances of that promotion. Then there are the questions we ask ourselves: “If everyone else can cope without taking time off, why can’t I?” When we’re ill, we often give in to the pressure to carry on working – whether that’s a perceived external pressure, or the expectations and standards we set for ourselves. It’s easy to fall into this trap when we have deadlines to meet, work on commission, or have a team that relies on us. Whether it’s a physical or mental illness, pressure to keep going can make us feel 10 times worse. But it’s time to put that unnecessary guilt in its place – here are four things to help you do just that. 1. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF I asked life coach Clare Percival how to overcome sick-day guilt. Her thoughts? “I would ask, where does that guilty voice stem from? Is it a parent, a boss, or just a limiting belief that somehow we think we are supposed to be super human rather than listening to our body?” Being honest with yourself that you need a break can make you stronger, and healthier, in the long run We need to learn to be vulnerable, and to show that we’re not OK – even if our inner critic doesn’t like it. But the truth is it’s nothing to be ashamed of. >>> happiful.com | September 2021 | 67
