I see the date!
There are so many things that 2025 is becoming. One word that comes to mind is MESSY. Something that makes that word sing to me is how I’m still trying to put Christmas away! It’s driving me nuts, although it’s not a long distance, but I’m the only one who can change it. I’ve tried to get the wheels rolling, churning, spinning, whatever I can to get moving on this. Instead, I’m stuck on a carousel. I’m going in circles and keep coming back around to how I NEED to be done with Christmas!
Messes Reproduce Like Rabbits
Here’s the thing about messes. The worse they become, the more rabbit-like their behavior. They ooze away from their conception and spread like viruses, multiply like bunnies. Before you know it, there’s more, and my open tabs, ADHD brain gets lost; so you know…texting and laundry are done. 😉 IYKYK!!
Punishment
Frustration is the punisher of messiness. For my Christmas explosion, I ordered those vacuum storage bags for bedding and pillows. Even though there’s limited storage, this is the last of it. Somehow this year, I ended up short a tub. I didn’t buy too many new decorations, and all the tubs are labeled for what goes in them. How do I have left overs from this organization strategy and purging last year? SMH I often want to throw everything out on the curb with a free sign on the pile.
It’s All Elementary
Since that’s not a logical solution, and it opens up another shit storm, it’s time to pull out the yoga pants (they’re already on, tbh) and flex my time to include putting things away. My brain likes baby steps, so there’s my starting point. Small bits a little at a time reduces my overwhelm and progress can be seen. This is also the way I’ve reset my work approach right now. My course is ready to edit and revise. I’ve gotten some pieces done for the educational activities. Progress, baby!
Potential Energy Sizzling Like Bacon
I’ve got this (unfortunately have to try for next week)! The potential is there, so much so it’s sizzling! Let’s get that potential energy crackling like bacon. What’s ONE thing you can focus on and prevent virus mutation, frustration, and overwhelm? I’m cheering for ya!
