Just Stopping For a Minute

I was not šŸ’Æ sure what I wanted to write about this week. I could get on the political sib soap box , why both political parties suck when it comes to disability rights, or anything of the like but decided to just stop. It’s beautiful this morning where I live. Had my coffee outside. Watched the dogs play. Made amazing treats for breakfast. And we got our first fig off the tree!

Sunday can be a panic day for me. To do lists and goal setting for the following week. I have a million things to do- EOBs need to be sent in, emails I didn’t get to this week (my assistant took a week off), paperwork for a doctoral student, liability insurance needs to be paid for the year, planning next CE event, presentations for conferences/guest lectures, and the list is a mile long.

What I’ve learned is that if you don’t stop, none of those things get done. My yoga teachers always quote someone ā€œmeditate everyday for 10 minutes unless you have a busy day, meditate for an hourā€. You have to have a clear mind and focus to get everything accomplished. I wish my dogs would sit there while I mediated. Instead, they whine by the door for me to let them out with me to then start playing when I do and it doesn’t work.

Today is Sunday. And some of that list will get done but so will stuff I want to do. I would like to make soap. Have Christmas/holiday smells picked out and goat milk frozen. I want to read for a bit and give myself a manicure today. Meanwhile for now, I will enjoy the birds singing while the dogs sunbathe. I will calendar block all the things listed above.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day! Share what you like to do when you stop in the comments below. šŸ‘‡
