Your best is good enough

Some days it takes my husband to remind me it’s o.k. to have a day where you relax or take a few moments to yourself.   As someone in recovery I always battle not beating myself up or finding balance in all things.  Cleaning for example most days I clean several times a day when some people clean once a week lol.  You see the issue again is not all or nothing… but some is good enough.

For some reason my brain is programmed to say you are not doing enough unless you are doing 50,000 things.  The dog barked and woke me up last night so I got less sleep than normal and immediately I am listing all the things to get done and my husband says “it’s ok to not do all of those things.  Maybe your body needs some down time today.”  So as I am brewing pot #2 of coffee I am watching home and family and doing nothing for a little while.  If an hour from now I have the energy to tackle a task then I will, if not this is good enough for today.
