Dear Tiffany,
You’re having trouble making significant progress on anything this week, but I really appreciate that today you made small progress on a lot of projects rather than continuing to hope for focus and energy.
You did great.
Here’s what you did:
You have a bunch of big projects happening that will require collaboration or input. You sent lots of messages to ask for that input. Good job!
You have a couple other big projects that are all on you, and you made some notes and then stopped working on them today and did other things. Good job!
You have some other projects that are overwhelming and you asked for help. Good job!
You have been struggling with self-care because you’re really missing a lot of your rituals. You bought a milk frother so you can start making London Fogs again, and you made sure there’s coconut milk in the pantry. Good job!
You made dinner and cleaned the kitchen. You washed all the dishes! Good job!
You booked the library for September’s Possibilities meeting. And then you didn’t set up the events, and you’re letting that wait for another day. Good job!
You’ve lost a lot of time to despair lately and you decided to turn that emotional energy into another potential project, and even though that doesn’t seem like a good idea given how thin you’re stretched lately, that is exactly the kind of emotional alchemy that helps you get through these times. Good job!
You didn’t get any writing done but you did get a lot of other stuff done. I’m proud of you.
Lately, it feels like you’re trying to push twenty boulders up an impossible mountain. And you’ve been feeling like you have to push them all at once, and all effectively, and all fast. You can’t do that. It’s not possible. Just push them each a little bit, when you can, in whatever way you can. It’s okay to spend a day doing small admin-type tasks. It’s not a failure. I promise.
Love,
Me
