I have also been in this process of "ironing out" such unkindness to myself. I try to walk through life and make bubbles of empty time for myself. To wake in the morning thinking of the day ahead with ease. "It's easy, you've done days like this before." And when new ideas, aspirations and plans pop up, I try to release them. They might manifest on their own, but there is no need to push myself around. But how lovely is the thought of giving space and care to those dreams, letting them twist, turn and flex out, without the pressure of completion. Of finding worth in their existence, in giving them space. This feels like the next step in this process.
This is beautifully said Emma! I often struggle with this too. Struggling with ADD, in my mind, everything needs to happen now, all at once, which can be overwhelming when you are in no means to start a new project, and often times, I loose motivation as time passes because in my mind I may already be onto a new idea, because I didn't get the other idea done quick enough. Over the years I have tried to curb those tendencies as much as possible, and instead focus on how I can set myself up for success, knowing "When the timing is right this project, it will get done" and giving my ideas more time to grow on their own.

Yes! Beautifully said.

So true. Its probably why we are all so tired. Ruminating and forever to do lists.
I rather like fantasizing of these things too.
Love the last line!
I really, really needed this. Thank you.
Murmuration! Thank you for that...
