it is all too easy to get swept up in all-or-nothing thinking. my house is messy so I either need to clean the entire thing or continue living in squalor. I have a shitload of work to do so I’ll either avoid it all or I have to block out 7 hours to get everything done. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! Enter: just doing a little bit. I don’t have to do all the dishes, just a couple. as a perfectionist, this is still a novel concept to me even after many years. i still relish the fact that I can be like “oh just do a little bit!” Like how cool.
Yesterday was a wonderful Monday for me. Today started late and I was worried that the momentum from yesterday would not carry through the day. Then I realized I was in charge of that momentum. I took a shower, had a smoothie, went to work( work study job) , did some homework, started reading a book about sound engineering that a friend is loaning me, and now I’m playing Minecraft at work. Don’t wait around ( I’m speaking from experience). Take the day by the balls and make some shit happen that you can look back on and smile about. 🌍❤️
