Today was beautiful and I had had great plans to have a big day – pumpkin patch or big family hike to work off the turkey. Didn’t happen. Instead, we had a quiet day at home. I got a few things done, went for a small walk in the woods but really just took it easy. It was nice.
Being OK with doing little took me a long time. When someone asks me how I am my answer is “busy.”
I’m usually trying to cram as much into every minute of the day. I think we get caught up with feeling good about ourselves only when accomplishing something. Being busy all the time is destructive.
It’s hard to recharge when you are always rushing around. Your mind requires quiet stillness to stay calibrated.
Doing nothing is challenging, but it’s amazing the things you notice when you are still that you would have missed.
