I realized that lately Iโve been โshouldingโ on myself a lot, like I feel like I should be doing better. I havenโt really been in this state for a while, it just sort of snuck in recently. The snow has slowed us down in terms of productivity and sometimes I feel like we should be so much further along with our rather extensive project list.
Some days you just need a mental health day. Today I acknowledged these feelings of discouragement and frustration and gave myself some space.
We and I are doing our ding dang best with everything weโve got. Iโm proud of myself and ourselves for showing up as best and as presently as we can. Some days may be a slow plod or a chipping away at something that feels like itโs just a bit daunting or very difficult. Iโm also reminding myself that while learning and growth take time and can be uncomfortable, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I have to say, I cannot wait for the ice to melt, to be able to walk to the workshop on steady feet, to actually be able to work and enjoy being outside. But until then, Iโm going to find my little pockets of joy and pride in where Iโm at.
