Always do your best, but don’t overdo! When you overdo, you deplete your body and go against yourself, and it will take you longer to accomplish your goal.
I saw this picture on The Four Agreements Facebook page, and it hit me kind of hard because the second before I saw it I thought to myself, “My stomach hurts. But I have so much to do.” After I stared at it and thought it over, I cancelled my plans for tonight and closed all the windows on my computer except this one to write this post.
I fight with the sense of “overdo” all the time. When I had my super ugly depression a couple summers ago I didn’t do squat and I regretted it later. I finally feel like I know what I want to be doing, how to spend my time, what to contribute to my family, myself, the world, and I want to do-do-do. But I also don’t want stomach aches. I don’t want to do things when I’m not feeling well because I’m pushing myself too hard.
See you later, To Do List.
I’m going to go lay down.
P.S. For several nights in a row I’ve dreamt that I keep forgetting to decorate for Christmas. What does it MEAN?
