This month, I found myself thinking about how quickly everything is moving lately. My live stream would be a series of activities, that move from one thing to the next, with subway rides in between.
“If I can just get through this [day, task, meeting, Excel spreadsheet, etc]… things will feel easier,” was also a frequent thought.
Then I reminded myself about something really important. Constant motion, living from one thing to the next, not taking time to stop, makes me feel pretty cranky. This is not news to me. Part of taking care of myself includes time to stop and reflect. But somehow, in the hustle, I’d forgotten.
I remembered a lesson I learned once long ago: I don’t want to be someone who is too busy and tired to not actually spend time doing the things that I really enjoy doing: lazy mornings, yoga, connecting with friends. When I don’t do them, I’m not happy… it’s that simple.
In November, I’m trying to do better, and so far so good.
