I am very much a busy-body, list-maker, achiever. I’ve absolutely written something on my list after I already did it just so I could cross it off.
Lately, though, I’m practicing a different kind of acceptance.
Not everything has to happen today.
The laundry. The clean toilet. The drawer that’s been bugging me for weeks. None of it is an emergency. There’s something grounding about reminding myself of that. About loosening the urgency and letting “not today” be enough.
“It doesn’t have to happen today.”
