Hey Everyone!
As we get down to the last few days before Christmas and/or the last few days of the year (depending on what you happen to celebrate) the pressure may be increasing for you.
Whether you are guided by work obligations, family traditions, your own vision of the tasks ahead, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by trying to do AllOfTheThings.
And ask you decide what to prioritize, what to get done and how to do it, I have a question for you…
What would it look like to choose self-kindness?
Yes, yes, I know that your ease is not the only factor to consider here.
And I know that you probably have more to do than on an average day so you may end up more tired than usual.
But still…
What if you chose self/kindness?
What if you did the version of your tasks that gave you more peace of mind?
What if you chose an easier, more straightforward version?
What if you chose a version that was more fun or that was quicker?
Now, I know this isn’t possible for every task but I equally well know that it is possible for some.
And I know you can’t prioritize your own needs in every case, but you *can* do it sometimes.
Doesn’t it make sense to choose some areas to go easy with so you have more energy for the tasks that require it?
At the very least, it’s worth including self-kindness as one of the factors in your decision-making process.
It’s definitely a good way to make more space for yourself in your own life.
Wishing you ease with this and with everything else you encounter today.
