Thanks for posting this, Suzanne. I am sure there are a lot of folks who can relate to this. Love that you are trying some things. Keep me posted on how it goes.💕
Once again, you hit the nail on the head with your Slow Sip post!
I, too, confuse finished with done and have been working to adjust my zealous list-making and clearly unhelpful expectations over the past month, spurred in part by the different thinking (kick in the butt?) unlocked by my birthday tarot reading.
Ritual is also an area I have been exploring, more so after attending a book launch (and full-moon ritual) for this wonderful publication: Burn Your Sh*t; the life-changing magic of rituals by Lori Dyan.
Am I calmer? Mostly. Have I crossed important-to-me book tasks off my list? Yes. Have I received hopeful/helpful replies? Yes. Have I sometimes decided that I am done and not reneged on that decision? Yes; I read an entire mystery novel on Saturday!
Of course, it is early days and I am inconsistent. I am treating today as a regular Monday because it is copy editing week and I have a deadline. But I have committed (out loud, to Gordon) that I will head out to Artfest in City Park in the sunshine this afternoon. My editing will not be finished but it will be done for the day.
A nice leisurely exploration of Finding Your Rhythm in four parts. There are lots of great ideas to mull over. And your little friend, Thomas, sounds like a wise one at a young age!
