On feeling good,

What's the recipe for feeling good?

It's not doing everything that you think you should.

Ticking every box here and there will only lead you to despair.

Relentless striving to get it all done will zap your energy and mute your fun.

Because as soon as you complete all your to-dos,

Others appear to give you the blues.

So celebrate that you're in demand.

Step back,

Breathe and take command.

Decide what's achievable for you today and let the other things enjoy delay.

Cross out the tasks that do not serve and learn to say no with plenty of nerve.

For being all things to everyone is a surefire way to come undone.

For burnout awaits on the other side of pushing too hard and continuing to strive.

Delegate be done with and seek support and you'll soon realize how hard you've fought to stay afloat for far too long.

It's time to sing a different song that includes some notes to soothe your soul and make feeling good your number one goal.

I love the poem. This is such a good reminder for me personally. I can often be a an unconscious slave to my to-do list and organize my day around tasks rather than making space for feeling good. Thank you for the clever reminder ๐Ÿ™
