Great post. I too need to do less of a lot of things: blogging and reading other people’s blogs, for one; buying books; trying to prove I’m worth something by doing something “useful” in the world; etc. I used to be proud of how full my calendar was when I was in junior high school! That set me up for a life of busyness which I’m still trying to recover from. As I have gradually stopped trying to find the “next big thing” to fill the empty space in my calendar, I finally started catching up on life and really feeling rested and able to give of myself in relationships with people. That counts more than anything else I could be doing with my life.

i’m trying out a some new self-talk in regards to that list in my head of stuff I “should’ve” gotten done. it goes something like:

“it is enough.
YOU are enough.”
repeat

I need to do less worrying about everything I don’t seem to get done!

I love your writing style. I love to hear your voice in my head. (how often do you hear that?!) Every night I put Alberto to bed in that dark room, lullabies playing…I fall asleep or nearly fall asleep, exhausted from the day’s activities whether they earn income or not. Lately I’m so tired it’s very tempting to go to sleep at 8:30…except for waking up at 11:30 pm ready and refreshed to start a false day. So, I struggle to revive myself and then…oops! it’s 1 am. Time to go to bed.

I could do a little less of everything. It’s just hard to combat that feeling that everything will fall apart if I don’t do it. I’ll see how it goes. Much love.
