I'm not feeling 100%...it doesn't matter.

I didn't do all the housework today...it doesn't matter.

I didn't do everything I wanted to do workwise today...it doesn't matter.

I didn't go to the gym today...it doesn't matter.

I haven't taken over the world today...it doesn't matter.

Why doesn't it matter? Because none of this is life shattering! It is only my expectations that I 'should' have perfect health all the time (insane!), have a sparkling house (never gonna happen!), finish every work 'thing' I ever thought of (yeah, right! I would need about 200 years to take action on every idea I have), go to the gym every day (unrealistic...and I don't want to do that), take over the world (like I'd want that responsibility?!). So what does matter?

Only that you feel good. Life is here to enjoy - most of the stuff we get stressed about DOESN'T MATTER! Feeling good, now that's important! So forget the rest of your to do list today and put right at the top 'Enjoy life'.

Love

A thought-provoking one this week.

What Burden Do You Wish to Put Down?

The burden that I wish to put down is the burden of expectation. I have always had very high standards and expectations for myself. I always thought that this was a good thing - it fuelled my drive, ambition and determination to make the most of myself and my life. But it also gave me an impossible standard to live up to. So if I put down that burden of expectation, I still get to be my most brilliant, creative and determined self but I can relax about the outcome of that. I can just enjoy being the best of who I am and doing the best I can without the expectation to live up to. I can relax and just allow life to unfold around me. The more I think about it, the more I realise that this is a HUGE burden...and without it I feel light as a feather. Que Sera Sera!
