Well, I didn’t get a huge amount done today but I did get some things done and I have to keep telling myself that that’s OK and this is a long road and every little step in the right direction counts.
everything that's done is done
@aral are you somewhere near me? You are describing my day.
@aral well, sounds like you've got time!~
@aral as a recovering do-er and super impaired be-er, I can relate.
Recovering has req'd clearly seeing that the voices telling me how much I needed to do and how perfectly I needed to do it were insane & insatiable, seeing how briefly they were satisfied with any completion & how quickly they moved on to adding a new to-do to the list, & seeing the cultural and family conditioning that says we must work to earn our belonging & enoughness. Deeper realizations are ongoing. I'm cheering you on!
@aral Hey, If I manage to do laundry or unload the dishwasher, I announce to the cats, "I DID SOMETHING!" sometimes its just "HEY mom got DRESSED!!!" it would just really help if they didnt look at me like I just farted. No appreciation.
@aral I have found it helpful to think of myself as a gardener rather than Prometheus bringing fire.
@madhadron Beautiful way to think about it :)
@madhadron @aral As everything is lit up already gardening has become my life. We will only light up parts of these later in the year.
@madhadron @aral you even get to keep your liver at the end as a bonus
