Weekend Wisdom: Check in with your heart. Ask, “is this enough?” Maybe more isn’t working anymore.
Oh, hi.
Words like rest, enough, gaze, relax, imagine and delight are winding their way around my heart today. I’m thinking about how to be softer and more present. I’m revisiting all of the things I thought I knew about work, busyness, distraction and resisting the call of more.
You know the call of more right? It sounds like this …
- Do a little more and you won’t have as much to do tomorrow.
- Make more now so you can rest later.
- Be more available to prove your energy and value.
- Answer one more email, scroll a little more.
- Cross more off your to-do list.
- Wake earlier, go to bed later, break less and you can do more.
- Produce more, consume more, come on … a little more.
- Push more, prove more, want more.
I’m not answering the call of more today and encourage you to let it go to voicemail too.
