“It’s not all joy and achievement. And goal accomplishment. I have bad days too,” read an excerpt from the 44-year-old actress’ post.

While sharing her no filter photo from her bad days, she wrote: “This picture is taken on a bad day. I also get overwhelmed. I also feel helpless and hopeless at times. I also go into a room and have a cry. Every achievement, big or small, is punctuated by days when you feel you are worthless, that you are going to fail. Or that you can’t go on.”

She also listed down the few things that help her cope with difficult times.

“I have some tools that I’ve acquired over the years that help me cope on bad days. One is to go for a run (not a workout, because that takes greater will). The second is to hit pause, and quickly list out five things I’m grateful for in that moment.”

Gul Panag, who also spoke about the story of triumph with her previous post about becoming a pilot, added that experiencing bad days are a part and parcel of her life.

“Why am I sharing this? Because I want you all to know that I’m humbled when so many of you say kind things to me. That I inspire you. (That is a huge responsibility). I want you all to know that it’s not all dream chasing and goal setting and achieving. It’s not all slaying. I don’t have it all together. No one does.”

Gul Panag is married with husband Rishi Attari. They have a son named Nihal.
