There are times when I can do what feels like a million tasks in one day and feel energized the entire time.  Then there are times when I feel like I am just getting by and making it day by day, meeting the minimums of life. Sometimes I have low energy and I feel like I have too many tasks in front of me. It’s in those moments that I just have to take it step by step and face the one task in front of me and that might be unpack the car or make dinner for my daughter. Or live with a messy house for one more day or eating cereal for dinner when it’s just me.  Knowing that everything will be attended to in just the right time because right now I just have to honor my energy level and what I can do right now. I don’t have to be great; I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to face my current reality and it’s all ok.  I have to remind myself of this sometimes and that I’m doing just alright by myself as a single mom. Yeah sometimes it’s hard when it’s just me. But what needs to get done will get done. It’s important for me to show my daughter that as with everything in life there is a balance. I can relax when I need to and I can get things done when I need to. I don’t want her to see me just doing and doing all the time but also just being. Deepak says that energy is neutral and that your state of being will determine your energy level. I can totally see that.  I’ve always believed in listening to your body and answering what it needs at that moment. So right now I’m beat. I’m super tired and feel like I could sleep for days. So today I’m going to get the minimum done, get some rest and hit my internal reset button. Tomorrow is another day and what will be will be.  I’m grateful for that!
