Slow and Steady

Yesterday, with a long list of tasks, I struggled to harness the energy needed to get through it all. Still recovering from this cold, I knew my body needed rest. At the same time, I didn’t want to let another day pass without doing anything.

I was split.

Then, just as I was about to throw in the towel, I said to myself, “what if you do these tasks slowly and with less energy?” Yes. 

By taking the pressure of performance out of the equation, I was focused on doing the best that I could do. To my surprise, I was able to complete every task on my list and it felt good. Of course, today will be filled with a lot of reviewing and revising my work, however, I’m proud of how I adapted to my needs.

I was able to be productive while still prioritizing my well-being.
