because if it's not this, is some other damn thing, you know? we know you know.
add to this list: being in the present moment. I'm finding it reflex to think about what's coming, always with the "what's coming" in my mind.
putting all my energy into trying to notice the patterns, make plans for next week and the week after and the week after, get everything on the books, schedule every minute of my life so that I can fit it all in.
and adding pressure on myself with questions like what's my next big goal, what am I doing to improve myself, what do I need to work on, healing-this & healing-that.
it all has its place, yes. but my god if we keep living this way where does the living fit??
what I noticed making this little series of tangible ways I'm keeping my sanity. I noticed that it's really just about closing tabs. closing tabs in my mind, things drawing on my attention, constantly trying to catch up or get ahead, prep.
there's function and purpose to that, but I lost the plot. maybe you have too a bit.
perk of it all is that it's easy to get back to balance... just add little things here and there, don't try to fit everything in this week, leave pockets of boredom.
this way you can ask yourself "what do i want to do right now?" instead of "where do I need to be right now?"
HUGE difference.
love you!!
