The hardest thing to do is relax in the midst of what feels like a rough day, and it is if you clump it all together, but if you can break it apart into little tiny moments, of just doing this moment, stay with this breath in time, it works out much better.
As I walk into the Post Office and survey the mounds of mail and packages, it seems overwhelming. And then add on the weather, the fluffy blowing piling up snow, plus dressing for the winter beauty, and then moving around all that mail, I could sit down and sob.
Each second of time by itself isn’t overwhelming, but if you try to live all the seconds at once it is.
When I get ahead of myself, when I am sorting and worrying about the roads, if this driveway will be accessible, will they all fit in the jeep, will I find it when I need it, will I finishing sorting in time, will my body take another tray of mail…and on it goes.
But if I stand with the one letter I have, and find its place…If I stand with this one mailbox, this one package, this tiny part of my day, I am successful and its being successful a million times a day, that my day is complete or a success.
I even have piled up all the days between now and Christmas into one big ocean, instead of staying with this wave in time.
“I can do this second” is what I have to remind myself, and to stay with it, that if for some reason I can’t, it is then that I can start to worry, but not a second before.
And maybe I am successful at failing to deliver!
What I have learned most is that when I get ahead of where I am, I feel overwhelmed, if I stay in the present I am okay.
Breathe and do what needs to be done in this second.
And when the next second comes, live that one.
Life isn’t one big ocean of time, it is this tiny little wave that arrives!
