"What you manage to do today will be enough." ~ Kate Allan
This reminds me of a lesson a learned from a woman with whom I once shared a car trip from Sedona, AZ to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
I like to strike up conversations with "so called" strangers and see how long it takes to feel the friendship that seems to have always been there between us.
I learned a lot from that particular woman. The main take-away was: Don't overdo. Don't put so many things on your To-Do List that you never complete them that day. Some are always carried over to the next.
As a result of suffering serious consequences from intense over-doing, she learned to put just one thing in the big box for each day on her desk calendar. She liked seeing space around each To-Do. It made her feel spacious inside herself and outside in her life. She usually did more than that one thing, a few or many, but the commitment to just one thing each day changed her life and how she lived it, making her healthier and happier.
Maybe you feel you don't have enough to do now, in the midst of a pandemic. But I hope we each find our own healthy "enough" while taking good care during this time of uncertainties, changes, and challenges.
If you have made a simple or significant adjustment that's made a difference for you, I hope you'll share it.
In the meantime, take care!
With love,
Charlene
