Completely agree that there are so many moments in a day that can give us peace such as the chores that make us so present and absent from other stresses of life.
so very true! I used to hate cleaning as a concept pretty much my entire childhood, but now I look forward to my deep clean days in a week. almost as if I treat it as a deep clean my mind day???
Having start days and deadlines only leads me to have more stress !
For example, I tell myself i’ll start a hobby on the next Monday, and if i have a bad/busy day and i’m unable to start that day, i end up ruining my mood on Tuesday as well as i hadn’t started it yet.
But if you think about the bigger picture, i can always choose to start today, and slowly make progress in the next year or so. I shouldn’t have to set dates for something that’s supposed to have a positive effect in my life, and just need to let it happen :)
My favorite thought is to think about some of these Tiktok famous Pianists at the age of 70, and i think to myself, “If i start learning the Piano at 50, i’ll have 20 years of experience by 70”. Life isn’t as short as it seems, and it’s not worth stressing out for most of it :)
yes!!!! progress isn't linear, but also progress only starts when you get started. love the idea of just letting things happen, but committing to the thing in the first place :)
