I can totally relate to that experience of "I'm going to do the thing! ALL THE THINGS!" and then overthinking, internal judgements, and fears come washing over the initial excitement.
I've gotten so much relief from being reminded that simply doing the thing, in its smallest form, counts. And a little will go a long way. Oliver Burkeman's "Meditations for Mortals" has lots of helpful reminders in the daily chapters.
Your post served as a nice reminder + a relief that I am not alone in this experience. Thank you!
Oh I'm so glad that you felt some relief and some virtual support in reading this piece! I will have to check out that book by Oliver Burkeman--sounds really good. Thanks for mentioning it!....And here's to continuing to do the "thing" however we can! :)
I loved the images! So comforting and peaceful...
