Just Appetizers

Today I did my best to catch up on my responsibilities by writing the famous “To Do List.” As I proceeded to get things done, in the back of my mind I knew I was working under unrealistic goals. If I had an assistant it would have been possible, but just me alone it was not going to happen. It was hard facing the facts, so I pressured myself into working harder and faster to get as much checked off as I could. Well you already know it did not happen. I had been doing so great not living under the driven master called the “to do list.” Once I decided to let go of my goals I found myself enjoying my day more. It is so funny how pressure can block you from living and enjoying life. The sad thing is this; I had created it and I had to be the one to change it. With my list in hand I made a healthy decision to leave what was not done until the next day. Breathing and exhaling the stress of my day I came to a place I love called peace. 

Have you ever been like me making the list and putting so much on it you were so stressed? What did you do when you realized you would not be able to complete everything on the list? Are you a “To do list Junky?” Share your thoughts, I would love to hear them:)
