Found out something interesting about myself today

So I got a cold, high temperature, sneezing and stuff... But for some reason I feel calmer and more focused than I usually am. I wonder if it is because I expect less of myself when ill, and when I end up doing stuff it feels like an achievement... Or is it because my body diverts my anxiety from tasks to the illness itself and I am able to focus better? Interesting Still feel like a squashed frog though

I donโ€™t know whether I should wish you a speedy recovery or a slow one now ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜œ but jokes aside, itโ€™s an interesting observation. Maybe you can try to be less hard on yourself when youโ€™re healthy too, and have the same positive effect? ๐Ÿ€
