Allow yourself to be fully engaged where you need to, and let go where you need to. You are not inadequate if you cannot be fully engaged with all things, at all times. Doing your best in the moment doesn’t mean you’re not fully committed. Instead, it is an opportunity to invest your efforts where they’re needed and release the rest.
Allow yourself to enjoy creating something while knowing that even before all of the details work out, you’re free to appreciate the progress you’ve made so far. You are allowed to find joy in the journey even before the outcome.
Give yourself permission to embrace rest and renewal when needed, while letting go of the expectation you must rest in a perfect way for it to be worthwhile.
Create room for flexibility and adaptation, even before you have it all sorted out.
Being fully engaged in this life right here where you are doesn’t mean being present perfectly, never being distracted or overwhelmed. Instead, it’s about recognizing amidst the distractions and overwhelm, you are free to adjust, refocus, and take pressure off again and again, however you need to. Like the rhythm of breathing, creating space for what’s next. Fully engage where you need to and let go of the rest. – Morgan Harper Nichols
