Are you feeling like your energy and motivation varies wildly from day to day?
I asked this on twitter the other day, and from the responses I got, I think I’m not alone.
Self-isolation or “stay at home” orders, or whatever you want to call it….it can be hard to drudge up motivation to do things, right?
comfort knitting!
So here’s what I’m telling myself—I do the bare minimum every day, and anything else is extra. I have a list of things I want to do, and if I feel energetic and focused, I can knock out things on the list. If I don’t, then maybe I do one little thing, like a load of laundry or clearing off part of the counter. Whatever.
I think we really need to give ourselves grace and space during this time. It’s a really different way to live, and there’s stress about unknown things. Even the basics, like church and school, aren’t happening, and that can throw us off in deep ways.
Right now, I think giving ourselves grace, space, and flexibility are all good gifts.
