“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.”
Lena Horne
Ways I am trying to change how I carry the load:
Runs, walks, I picked up some weights today. It’s been a minute.
Bless you wine but I can not drink you during the week.
Fiction, parenting books, podcasts about leadership and life . . . in short, outside perspective.
Making plans. Looking forward. Friends and holiday parties and the future.
Making lists and tackling one hard thing at a time.
Making time to rest. I watched all six episodes of the new Young Royals season last night and it was absolutely worth skipping out on the extra work I had intended to do instead.
I breathe in. I breathe out. It’s all been said before. It’s always worked before. Nothing is instant relief but I look trust the long arcs and keep going.
With Love,
Natalie
