It's okay

I know it stresses many of us out when we don't achieve anything that day, week, hour. I used to be an overachiever and workaholic. I enjoyed it like crazy. I felt accomplished. And I knew what I did was good.


Things change. We change occupations, we slow down, maybe we get sick.


Whatever the reasons, it's okay. We don't have to accomplish something every hour, day or week. That doesn't make us less than. It may improve the quality of our lives. Or, maybe you changed occupations to something slower paced.


In my case, I got sick. I've had a hard time learning it's okay. It's okay that I'm not accomplishments everyday. It's okay that I don't work. It's okay that I can't make dinner many days, or run errands for that manner. It's okay that I can only write somedays. 


It's okay. 


No matter what our circumstances, it's okay to stop trying to do it all. In the long run, slowing down adds only goodness to our lives.


I have had trouble appreciating this slow lifestyle. Once I stopped working I was going to write everyday. I was going to tackle household projects. I was going to cook great food every night. But it hasn't worked out that way.


And, it's okay.


I write when I can. I cook once in a while. I just rest, relax and try to show some improvement.


We have to realize that we don't have to be number one- student, employee, mother...


It's okay.


Let's just be the best we can be and let that be okay. We'll be much happier that way.


peace and love,

doing nothing

In this time of multitasking, parents and children texting while they talk to one another, no one talking eye to eye or even taking a moment to really invest in what is going on, maybe it's time to do a little nothing.

I don't mean stuck-in-one-place, never reaching or changing or growing, "I'll stay this way forever," kind of nothing. I don't even mean put half the work down or don't drive an answer email at the same time.

Nothing is, of course, open to interpretation.

I'm referring to a stretching out on a blanket and cloud watching, taking a nap, lounging in a favorite chair with a magazine, or, my personal favorite, a long, hot bath.

Why all this nothing? There are things to do! Take it from an ex-workaholic who still suffers from ADHD even if my body can't keep up. I worked and worked and thought about work. I had headaches, tension in my neck, less patience and less smiles.

Slowing down reminds us to take a breath. To enjoy a nice day. To really listen because we're moving a little slower, a little lighter.

A little nothing is good. It brings about a lot of somethings we forget about- better health. I know that those of us who suffer from chronic pain conditions and such must rest. We need nothing time. Doing errands or housework or this or that isn't nothing.

So, I encourage everyone to practice a little nothing here or there. Slow down. Be present. And, we might just get a little more done.

peace and love,
