As I move through December, I have more and more opportunities to do more and more things, to add more and more to my schedule.
I can feel the pressure of those possibilities all over the place.
But I am committed to Finishing Soft so when it comes to these optional activities, I am using softness as a guideline for my choices.
Every time I think of something else I *could* do or somewhere else I *could* go, I check in with myself to see how the idea of doing or going makes me feel.
And I weigh that feeling, whatever it is, against the fact that I want to feel ease, that I want to Finish Soft.
If that task or activity isn’t adding to that feeling of softness, I vote no.
That doesn’t mean that I am automatically avoiding hard tasks, I’m just making sure that the hard tasks are worth it, that they will contribute to the overall softness in my life.
Has this worked perfectly?
Of course not! I’m still me!
Has it helped overall?
Oh hell yes!
