whats on your list today

I’m a list maker.

If I don’t write it down, it probably won’t get done. 

That’s mostly because I’m a weird combination of OCD and ADHD. I need things organized and in order because I easily get distracted by anything and everything. (Especially if it’s pretty or shiny).

As many of you know, when it comes to my list of to-do’s and tasks, I prefer to embrace the “ta-das, and relish in the ones I actually DO accomplish rather than beating myself up over the ones I didn’t. (I’ll just move those to tomorrow. Lol!)

But honestly, there are things we need to NOT do:

  • Let’s NOT measure our worth by someone else’s opinion of us.
  • Let’s NOT carry the weight
  • of what other people think we should do or be.
  • Let’s NOT be quick to judge, because truthfully, we probably don’t know the whole story. 
  • Let’s NOT compare ourselves to anyone else,
  • nor apologize
  • for taking a breather when we’ve had enough. 
  • Let’s not be in such a hurry, we miss our blessings. 
  • Let’s NOT let the voice in our head drown out our gratitude.

Instead, let’s plan today 

to make a way to smile to a stranger,

to slow down a bit,

to actually taste our food when we eat it, 

to spend some time outside.

What are some things on your  “Stop doing” list?
