This is Enough
“This is enough.” Three of the most difficult words I ever have to think or speak. We have a long and colorful history. To be descriptive, my whole body has been on fire with tension, my head may throb, and my heart pounds as what may be a straightforward task to other people becomes a referendum on my worth as a person.
This kind of anxiety can cause procrastination, spur burnout, and just often enough pay off with singular brilliance, creating the illusion that if I only got rid of my basic unworthiness, lesser qualities, and awful time-management I could be brilliant all the time. If only.
The temptation is to put off writing this first blog post until I have something profound to say, the concentration to craft a well-written essay with external references, some irreverence, and maybe even a YouTube short with relevant pop culture references. It’s not happening today.
What I can share is What’s on My Diary Card this week and what’s on repeat.
My Diary Card
Eating away from home no more than 1x/week. (Decreasing meals outside of the house, increasing food quality, increasing skills use to de-stress)
Increasing any and all activity. (Step count 3000 or higher, time outside every day)
