So another week as whizzed by and I feel like I have so much creative energy burbling at the seems! Here it is almost 1:30am and I really feel I could sit at my pretty little laptop until the sun comes up creating and enjoying.
One of my little fantasy ideas has always been about breakfast in the morning. I love watching television shows where you see the family sitting down to breakfast or when people seem to have hours to chat, eat and drink coffee before heading into work. While I do realize the difference between TV and reality, part of me has always hoped to get to a point where each morning I enjoy, sitting at a table in my kitchen eating a hot breakfast that was cooked by me-and not just on the weekends.
So the other morning I was hungry and just felt like having eggs and toast so after feeding my little girl I decided to go ahead and go through the TASK of making my own breakfast.
Know what I found out?
It takes maybe 5 minutes.
I spend more time figuring out a word on Words with Friends!
So all this time I have been building up in my mind something that I really wanted to do but immediately sabatoged myself from doing it-all without even trying.
So I took this new found knowledge into other areas of my life-life mopping my downstairs floors-know what? 10 minutes start to finish. Sure I wasn’t scrubbing every nook and crany but why do we build things up to be so much more than they are? Why do I feel I need to spend 4 hours cleaning for my house to be clean? Why do we think we need to run 2 miles a day to exercise and why on earth do I think it takes over an hour to fry up 2 eggs and make some toast?
Here is to spending my time doing a bit here and a bit there all the while being present and enjoying a sense of accomplishment built solely on my own expectations!
