How to Make It Through This (no matter what THIS is)
One year ago…
I had achieved many goals:
- I was on top of my email inbox
- There were no piles
- My storage unit was empty
- I had scheduled 20 Learn to Teach Yin trainings
- I could do six pull-ups
- I was six months coffee free
At this moment, my inbox tops out at 1,300 unread messages. I’m writing to you amid piles of mail that has come in, and mail that must go out. I have two trainings scheduled. I’m on day five of my pull-up training program. I’m into my third cup of coffee today.
None of this is feels like a failure, exactly, but I also don’t have the sense of confidence that I had a year ago. The momentum I had established has evaporated, and my daily wins are back at daily sadhana, three meals a day on plates, clean clothes, washing my face, and taking my vitamins. I’m working on the daily shower and the daily bed making, the daily meaningful conversation, and daily care for my own vehicle, but this all feels tenuous.
Everything feels tenuous.
