Hello crochet buddies! Today I have another crochet pillow pattern for you!

But before we move to the pattern let me tell you more about the inspiration and purpose of this pattern!

We are all stressed and anxious due to the crazy things that is currently happening in the world. Each and everyone have a loved one or something to worry about. Above all of this, some of of us are Feeling guilty for not being “productive enough”or for not “Achieving enough.” We compare ourselves to others or even to our own selves before a pandemic hits the world! We measure our worth with how much we achieve! and to be honest with you I struggle with this big time! With this guilt of not having energy to be productive, to study, to workout or to do whatever I have on my to do list! I sometimes also struggle to give myself permission to just sit, chill, enjoy, and be happy while I know that many people are suffering.

But what we should know is!

1) That guilt and a negative mindset won’t do any favor to anyone!
2) That your worth is not measured by how much you achieve or how many tasks you do on a daily basis!
3) That it’s okay, actually it’s a must! To do any kind of self care on a daily basis! to help you survive!
4) It’s okay to do nothing! It’s okay to CHILLAX!!! but you should do it right! I mean without worrying about the future and definitely without feeling guilty!

For me my way to CHILLAX nowadays is to sit in my crochet corner or my balcony, listen to music through my headphones, while crocheting and drinking coffee, or a smoothie. And actively pushing away any negative thought that crosses my mind (coz it will inevitably happen) with a positive one! for example something I’m grateful for! AND I INVITE YOU TO DO SO TOO!
