When the world has you overwhelmed,
Set everything aside.
Keep the big things there,
Bring the little things in, one by one.
Slowly.
Get dressed,
Brush your teeth,
Eat.
Congratulate yourself on each and every tiny achievement and refuse the to-do list any air-time.
Then,
Take a seat,
Relax,
Read,
Listen to your music.
That’s enough.
You have done well my friend,
For now.
Reach inside and shake hands with your soul who is, for the most part, ignored and abused, squashed and squeezed into a world gone mad.
Remember you are driving yourself through a fast-paced life that was not really your creation.
Remember who you are; child of the universe, full of wonder and joy.
Too much work will break a back.
Take a rest my friend.
The big things were not your doing, not really.
You will get them done,
When you're ready.
And you will be ready, because,
that’s just who you are.
Donna Ashworth
