Take a couple of moments today to just breathe. I thought maybe you could benefit from breathing as you catch up from the weekend.
It is so easy to take a look at your list of responsibilities for the week and start rushing around to complete them. If you are like me, my momentum builds and like a crazy person, I end up sprinting – attempting to finish everything quickly.
I am not multitasking, like I tell myself, I am flailing. The projects I am completing often missing crucial elements.
My ideas become so-so and not extraordinary. The interaction I have with my loved ones becomes surface level and shallow.
Slow down today.
Take your punch list and give it a hug instead of slapping it around.
At the end of the day, you will accomplish more.
Great advice, Elizabeth. Better to do a few things well and be completely present than attempt to do a long laundry list of items that just ends up so-so.
YES, Roxanne. I have come to the realization that I cannot speed through my day. Everything just turns out half-assed. (Is that the correct way to spell that?)
Thank you so much for reading, my friend.

Lovely post, Elizabeth. You are so right, you get more done when you take time to breathe. I need to get back to yoga!
Danielle, I need to get back to yoga too. I have taken so much time from silence that I think my body is revolting! Thank you for the lovely comments. And for reading!
