two

dedicate yourself with a calm mind to the task at hand.

easy to say. hard to do. my mind is anything but calm these days. my thoughts flitter between subjects. jobs. tasks. my to-do list grows. and I am already behind in my hope to have a little stock of posts ready to go. oh well. let’s just take a deep breath and move along shall we?

the point to all this is to not get caught up in the fuss. the fuss leads to anxiety. stress. turmoil. and that leads to conflict. sure there are deadlines that must be met. whether self-imposed or business driven. we all need a time line to keep on target. but when the task takes over. becomes burdensome. unmanageable. weighty. we must realize that when the task becomes un-fun it literally threatens us. our well-being. self-worth. and our relationships. whether personal or professional.

can we learn a lesson from mom? take a time out. give yourself a break. walk away. if only for a minute or two. take a deep breath. this too shall pass. the pile on your desk. the details in your head. they’ll all be there when you return. but you’ll come back with a new focus. a clearer perspective. a steadier hand. a new sense of worth and purpose. and undoubtedly find an answer right on top of the pile. or at our doorstep.














peace.
