As I looked forward to July beginning, like a little new start, that it can be every new month in our calendar, I soon felt discouraged by unforeseen disturbances, making me come off tilt and not get the rest and sleep I’ve needed, and thus not being able to get things done, the way I had planned. This in turn, created more feelings of stress of course.

However, yesterday it occurred to me, that the new moon is coming later this weekend, and from that perspective, I should simply get things done by then instead. So, I extended my deadline. Look at that, a whole week more, and me being perfect on time! Often, we set deadlines, or have them set for us, that in turn makes us stressed, instead of tuning into the natural flow of things, with much less stress. Such as, letting the phases of the moon, be our guide (as previously shared here).

Which thoughts do you have about your own need to perform? What can you think instead, that is kinder and more caring to yourself, while still honouring your commitments? What is the best course of action, not according to the calendar, but according to the natural flow and present needs? Try that!

So, back to putting my nose to the grind, but this time with a smile, since I actually have a couple of more days left, to get things done.
