Daily focus 🧘🏾‍♂️

The last couple weeks I’ve been putting an emphasis on staying present. It’s funny how un-present I become when I’m doing the simplest tasks. I catch myself thinking about something I shouldn’t be when I’m brushing my teeth or I find myself dropping the fork to my dinner because I was in a rush to eat. Where am I rushing to? I know sometimes we run behind schedule but these instances I’m not really in a rush to get anywhere. Here is where I think time can create an illusion in your mind. It always seems to be this race against the clock. I’m much more productive and fulfilled when I’m taking my time. I often find myself not doing things because I think I won’t have enough time. Those couple of minutes each day can build on itself. You can take those minutes and practice something you’ve always been wanting to practice. Don’t have all the time for a full workout. Those 10 push-ups will add up over time. I’m trying to focus on growing into things instead of pressuring myself to getting it done immediately. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Every second of it. Being kind to myself pops into my head all the time. We probably grew up with people being very critical of you if you messed up. Being criticized at a young age can develop into 24/7 panic. Always feeling the need to be right and shaming yourself for when you aren’t. That’s completely a learned behavior. Why get so down on yourself when you do wrong? You can just as easily mess up and shake it off with no thought about it. That’s a skill though. It can be learned. It can be practiced.

I don’t want to type too much right now. I’m really enjoying the day and I want to end it on a good note. I love you all I don’t ever really do edits on here because I want it to feel like a journal. I don’t find that I don’t have many typos when I am present with what I’m writing. How could you possibly make a mistake if you are going at your own pace? It happens but the likelihood of it happening is small.
