Yesterday I said f*ck it to my to-do list.

Yesterday I said f*ck it to my to-do list.

I’m reminding myself it’s okay to have a hard moment. A hard season. And I don't have to be the person who's always... I don't know. Always on, I guess.

Yesterday I had a whole list of things to do. And then in the middle of the day, I finished a meeting, went to my hot water kettle, made some tea, and sat down.

And I just felt it everywhere, that I needed to sit and not do anything for a bit.

So rather than do all the things, I stopped. I didn't do any of the things. I drank my tea and read my book and put my feet up and felt tired.

I also felt grateful to myself for sitting and being tired and not doing all the things.

I didn't get everything done on my list. Somewhere in there I got the most important things done. And I listened to my body and my energy, and I sat down with a cup of tea and a book when that was all my body could really do at that moment.

Tell me I'm not the only one who needs a reminder to stop sometimes?
