I have had one of those days where you think you have the time to finish everything on your list, but you really don’t. It’s 10pm now and I feel like I’ve only made a dent in the things that I needed to get done. Ugh, it’s a crappy feeling when the stuff on the list today bleeds over into tomorrow. Tomorrow is super busy as well. Why can’t I just have two of me to get things done? I need a twin that only does my extra work. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Lots of you have requested that I write more about the other blog I wrote called “Only so Much Time.” I feel like right now is as good of time as any to bring that subject back up. While I did get a lot accomplished today, and feel a little stressed that a lot of it is going to be pushed to later days, I’m ok with it. It sucks, yes, but I deserve time to relax and have time for me.

If we spend our lives only working we fail to actually live. If we regret or place stress on ourselves for not finishing the things on our to-do’s, we fail to live. I mean, I am the only one who controls if I feel like I did or did not complete the things I needed to. No one else is hovering over me telling me that since I didn’t do this or that, that I am a failure or anything. Every feeling that I feel, is mine and is created by me.

So, instead of feeling like “ugh, I didn’t finish the crap I thought I needed to,” and placing an unneeded stress on myself – I choose to not feel that way. I choose to sit here and be thankful for the things I had the time to complete. I am also thankful that I can shut down everything soon and take a bath with some awesome Essential Oils in them so I can sleep. I am not going to worry about the bleed over of crap I need to do. If God or the Universe wants me to get it done, she will allow me the time to complete these activities when the time is right.

We spend too much time worrying about things. We think of the “what-if’s,” the unknowns. Oh the peril we feel when we can’t determine the outcomes. We have to stop feeling this way. Our paths are our own. Yes, move towards your goals and focus. Put in the hustle to get the end point. BUT, each day, you have to ask yourself if you tried your best.

If you did, then know that there was a reason why you couldn’t finish everything and rest easy. There’s always tomorrow and living a life in fear or in stress is just not worth your time.

So rest easy friends.
