Maybe start the day off with a little cleaning.
A smaller task, readily accomplished, but it’s just a start. Something to build on.
What is a simpler task you could do today, so that you begin the day feeling like you’ve already accomplished something?
Tidying up is a helpful place to start because it makes room. Room for something new.
Room for creativity, for meaningful thoughts, for a conversation that doesn’t feel rushed.
No one needs to begin their day stressed before they’ve even done anything.
Making room in your physical space can help create a more calm, less stressed environment. One you could actually get something done in, rather than stressing about the mess.
Maybe start the day off with a little cleaning.
You never know how productive, or at least less stressful, the rest of your day will be as a result.
Besides, you’ll probably have accomplished the most important task of the day—leaving yesterday’s stress in yesterday. And making room for today. Room to be fully present in today.
