Hey: let's cancel that meeting.

Yesterday, I looked at my overbooked calendar

felt overwhelmed at all the appointment blocks and deadlines,

and went HIGH DRAMA for a bit.

Even though these days I pretty much only do what I really want to do,

I was set to be doing way way WAY too much of it.

The quantity of engagements was threatening my quality of life.

So, I admit: I indulged in a half-day of Woe Is Me.

And then I remembered a key and most favorite spell:

I exist at choice.

So I shifted from Victim to Creator,

grabbed my calendar by the scruff of its neck,

and got to extending deadlines,

pushing back unnecessary appointments,

and straight-up canceling some shit.

No surprise:

everyone so far has been relieved.

Turns out many of us are coasting on fumes here at the end of 2021.

Are you?

If yes, please remember:

even though you're tired, you ALWAYS exist at choice.

And you can choose Rest. Spaciousness. Health.

Quality over Quantity of interactions.

You can choose you.

xo,

Natalie
