Monkey Mind
Yesterday I found my electric bill in the refrigerator. Just sitting on the shelf between the veal cutlet and smoked salmon.
Lately I’ve been experiencing what Buddhists call “monkey mind”. I’ve been easily distracted. It’s Covid Brain. Lockdown brain. I’ve found I can do 1 full on fully focused work day followed by a day of distraction. I'm giving myself permission to work this way.
Coming up with new routines, new expectations of myself.
When I allow and acknowledge how I currently need to work - when I go with the flow- I am so much better.
I am learning now that self care is really just maintenance. You have to change the oil for the engine to run.
What things are you doing as “maintenance” that you use to not do?
Note I’m wearing the @republicoftoma.fashion monkey knucklebuster ;) with black diamond to remind me to allow my brain time to swing from the trees- just like children at school need recess when you give your brain a play break it makes it easier to concentrate when you do get back to work!
Forgive yourself for not being normal. Nothing is normal these days. Why should you be?
