One Thing

When you’re down and unmotivated, it can be very hard.

Every task seems arduous

Every hill, a mountain.

So you curl up in the shadows and die of overwhelm.

I’ve been there. It’s not fun.
Here’s what you’re going to do, beloved.

Make just one promise to yourself each night.

Something that you WILL complete the next day.

No matter what.
Write it down on a small piece of paper ~ post-it note is ideal.

Simple words.

One sentence.

One thing.
Carry your note with you until that one thing is completed.

Keep in in your pocket.

On your monitor.

On your dashboard.

Keep reminding yourself.

One thing.

Done.

No matter what.
Don’t let the mountain of undone things unnerve you.

Each small success is progress, each tiny completion builds momentum.

One thing.

Done.

No matter what.
Could be the same thing each day for a week.

Could be a small step toward a bigger goal.

Could be something different each time.

Could be the same thing done differently.

It doesn’t matter.

One thing.

Done.

No matter what.
Could be so small that your inner voice says “Why bother?”

“It won’t make a difference.”

Don’t listen, dear heart.

One thing.

Done.

No matter what.
And when it’s done, throw the note in the bin.

And smile.

One thing.

Done.

No matter what.
And one day, perhaps, you’ll think …

Maybe there’s time for another one thing?

 

I believe in you, sweetness.

You can do this.

Whatever it is.

 

With love and bliss-ings,
