So many things happening all at once..and at the same time. Good things. Exciting things. Growing and evolving things. Changing things.
It’s left me feeling breathless and out-of-control and that I am racing constantly just to keep up. With too many balls up in the air..I fear that if I let one drop..I may drop them all.
Stop…I remind myself. Breathe. Slow-it-all-down. Simplify. Focus on only one of the many..many things on the long list of ‘to do’. The forest will be there. Today – look only at that one tree with the singular branch and that one beautiful leaf. See it. Embrace it. This too shall pass. In another week – this leaf won’t be. In the week after that – all of this busy-ness will be behind me.
Today – I am practicing focusing one just one thing. One baby step. One long slow deep breath. One ‘thing’ on my list crossed off…done… accomplished.
In that – I invite you to join me. To focus only on one of the many things on your list…to savor and enjoy the moment – without any sort of judgement. Neither good..nor bad..but for what it simply is. To breathe.

I keep reminding myself of this at the moment too. One thing at a time, write a list, tick the boxes, slow down and soon it'll all be done. Thanks for the reminder.
This was a beautiful reminder.
Good advice...breathe slow, talk soft, one thing at a time.
Have a lovely day! :)
beautiful, well needed advice for me today.

simplifying this wednesday and absolutely enjoying the moment.
What a brilliant post - advice I really need today.
A good advice and the perfect photo to match!
I seriously need to print this out and tape it to my monitor or my mirror or about a dozen places in my house. Beautiful, and so filled with truth.
A stunning photo! And a good reminder - when I feel overwhelmed by the amount of things to do I write a list and do them one at a time. Checking off the little boxes is satisfying and usually it even leaves time for some hot chocolate!
Thank you for this. I read it and then felt like I haven't been breathing all day. thank you again- I needed this.
how lovely to find you here :) i am almost back to full internet speed (fundis coming over the weekend to get me back online so i wont be quite so awol from next week i hope).
I wear a neclace that says 'breathe deeply and often' - from a lovely lady called bella wish. it reminds me to slow down, which i need...often. have a great day :)
