Put one sock on one foot at a time
An exercise in being present
I sensed something was with me and maybe I would clear all those emails that were waiting to be read.
The replacement laptop displayed the same problems as the one it had replaced. I had lost a lot of hours in these last 3 weeks creating ways of working without ‘Word’.
What was I to do? After many years of having to live in the moment, it seems to work. I am convinced it is working because I am working it. Of course, I react and have all those familiar thoughts usually beginning with “Why?” But that is the beginning of the process which knocks me to the next stage, “No point wondering ‘why?’ do what you have to do!”
Now I am not without my emotions and sometimes they dominate. Whether it is my thinking or emotions dominating there is another part of me that says, “You got to do it!”
Over the last three weeks, I have been living with these emails in the corner of my eye. There were things needing doing, I guess we call them the priorities and before I could start on those emails I had to get done what was pressing.
Each day I would do what I felt led to work on and after working beyond I would feel that I had given what I had and close for the day. Of course, the early morning is the time that I feel the anguish of what lies before me but again I have to ‘put one sock on one foot at a time’.
This may sound corny but for me, it works. Try it and let me know if it works for you or tell me what works for you.
