Who is the easiest person to ignore? If you are the director, making sure all the ducks are in a row, it is easy to forget about yourself. Even in downtime we tend to plan the next go around in our lives. What can you do for yourself today? More importantly, what do you need? Sometimes less is more. Something without a plan can be the most fun. I have been doing and doing and doing, for myself sometimes, but wasted day syndrome is in high power. The mentality of, if I do this, I will feel better. Today I was up before the sun( when am I not), I made a coffee and went outside. There was a thick frost, but it was quiet, I gained something there. Peace and reflection, where I am right now, not what I am going to do. The crisp air, quiet and the sun rose, but it always does.
When I came in, I wrote down every upcoming appointment and event, out of my mind and on paper. All the willy nilly stuff banging around in my head, I also wrote down. You don’t realize how much you carry, put it down if you are tired. My shoulders relaxed and I sat down. My words given to so many people, I gave them to myself. The house came alive, my hubby is making bacon with soft music playing, can’t be brought down with that. Shortly I will meet my day, but I will meet it where I am.
Dig for your inner peace today. There will always be stuff to do and there will be more days to do them. Monday morning arrives with or without things done. Maybe this week Monday can be Tuesday. So much pressure to do it all on the weekend, maybe ‘so what’. The gotta and have to’s can wait. Give yourself attention, be the priority today.
