I am patient with myself.
Everything happens at the perfect pace.
I had planned to de-clutter the laundry area after work last night. I also wanted to work on my budget (allocating monthly money to pay for yearly expenses such as AAA membership and Car registration)
That was the plan and it was a good plan, but after I had my baby bathed, changed and fed, I felt sleep. Clearly my body needed some rest. This is ok. I woke up around 10:30pm, took off my contact lenses off, brushed my teeth, changed into my PJ's and continued sleeping.
I am listening to my body and respecting it. I learned that I can have plans and that is ok if I have to adapt and even postpone.
My feelings of guilt for not completing a task just dissolve, it is ok, the laundry room can wait, and the finer details of my budget can wait. It was time to rest, it was the right decision.
I open, I relax, I breathe, I stop the self judgment, thus accepting blessings and allowing for good things to come into my life.
I brought lunch today again, that is nice...
