Nourishing
🌱Pay attention to what nourishes you and what drains you + Happy Mother's Day
Last week, I encouraged you to start something.
Start something
Do you have an idea that’s bouncing around in your head? Maybe it’s a dream to start a gluten free bakery out of your kitchen? Maybe it’s a desire to find like-minded people who share your passion for making your hometown a better place? Maybe it’s wanting to see if you’ve really got what it takes to be a published po…
Did you? It could have been something small, something ambitious or anywhere in between. What matters most is the act of starting for this is how we begin to manifest the future we want to see.
If you decided to start something, no matter how small, I’d love to hear about it and celebrate with you. Also, your sharing just might inspire someone else to start their thing.
But I’ve got too much on my plate, you might say. I get it. I feel this way sometimes, too.
Pay attention to what nourishes you and what drains you — which activities, interactions and and environments. To the extent you can, strive to do less of what drains you and more of what nourishes you. Realize you may have more agency than you think.
Perhaps you can delegate something at work or rearrange who does what at home. Maybe some of the things on your to do list don’t actually need to get done.
Be intentional and purposeful with your communication.
If your environment is impacting your ability to do your best work, change it. Recently, I’d let things accumulate and the clutter was really getting to me. Over the last week or so, I’ve focused on cleaning one room at a time and they now feel so much more peaceful.
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember why you started. Give yourself grace. And always believe in yourself. You exist and have a unique capacity to contribute to this world.
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. To all of the mothers out there, thank you for bringing us into this world, for caring for us, for loving us — and for encouraging, nurturing and inspiring us to become the best versions of ourselves. You are amazing and we love you. ❤️
Have a wonderful weekend.
Be well,
