I was working my way through email quickly this AM, scrolling/scanning to see what I must attend to -- and this sentence caught my eye & brain, forcing me to scroll back & ponder: "Sometimes, discipline isn’t about pushing through, it’s about listening better." That sentence resonated with me today, now because just last week, I made the decision to stay home & not embark on a planned backpacking trip. And b/c a lot of things going on in my life (family/elder care issues) are making it difficult to be "disciplined" w my work. And, likely, b/c I just gone done writing an article aimed at physicians about the need for down time and rest. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback Jennifer. It can be so difficult to let go of these thoughts and feelings, especially when many of the values and beliefs are so conditioned (plus reinforced). Be kind to yourself 💫
