Giving myself permission to be tiny

Apr 10th, 2009 Posted in Being in the process | no comment »

Today was not such a good day.  I’ve been low all day.  However, I’m determined not to lose all my momentum, so today I let myself do something tiny, something that was so easy it felt like no effort at all, but that still moved me directly toward one of my 3 big goals (yet to be made public).

Then I went and ate yummy food, sat on the floor with a rabbit and read a book.

And somehow, right now, I don’t feel like today has been a total waste.  Which, compared to some days where I’ve pushed and pushed to try and get something ‘big’ done and ended up pootling around and procrastinating till some ungodly hour of the morning, feels like a win.

So yeah, today I gave myself permission to be tiny, so long as I still kept moving forwards, and I feel good about it.
