Do You Have a Never-Ending To Do List? How to Kick-Start your Monday Morning
Monday, March 29th, 2010Before you launch into your busy week, I wanted to share a couple of things that have helped improve the quality
of my life.
When I pick too many things to “Get Done” in a day, my head gets cluttered and overwhelm sets in. Before I even begin to focus on each of the tasks, peace has disappeared and I’m not present in my body. Then when I do get present, it is painful.
I find that when I approach several things at once on my list, I lack joy because my focus is on “Getting Everything Done”. Unrealistic goals cause me pain and frustration, which leads to self-criticism.
I’ve found that when I pick one task for the day that contributes to my Life Purpose, I feel good.
I’ve found that realistic expectations of myself stop self-sabotage.
When I slow down, I get more done! I also feel happy and I am present in this moment. Instead of worrying about something that has to be handled a month from now, I can appreciate the sunrise and the miracle of holding my baby boy in my arms.
Many blessings,
Joanna Garzilli
