Phew, it’s so relieving to say it and hear it back 🫂
Discussion
I’m taking the angle of keeping my word to myself, but being careful what I tell myself I’m going to do.
I’m also learning to view one inch of progress as progress.
I always want to put everything on the to-do list because A.) I don’t want to forget anything, but B.) because I might be expecting too much out of myself. Then, when I’m not able to accomplish everything, I feel like I failed even if I got a lot done. Lately I have been making much smaller (more doable) lists and just adding more as I go, but today, I haven’t even gotten up to brush my teeth. It’s just poopy.
I’ve made it from the bed to the desk. Later, I may go outside. 😌
Feeling like I have a lead vest on today. Which usually means rest and listen. 👂
I have two lists.
Well actually like 20.
But in this context 2.
Put a few things on the today list from the todo list. You will know if it’s too many. do those things.
then go do something you enjoy.
That voice telling you you’re a POS comes from somewhere else. It’s not you. Tell it you won’t carry its failure anymore, and you’re going to love yourself where you’re at.
Then be a ruthless MFer about doing that.
