Turns out this "I don't know if I can (fill in the blank with activity), but I know I can (fill in the blank with what you are pretty sure you can do) works pretty darn well.
Example: Yoga class.
"I don't know if I can hold this pose for much longer, but I think I can do it for 3 more seconds." Breathe.
Or at home, land of SO MUCH TO DO THE DUST BUNNIES CAN CONSUME YOU IF YOU LET THEM.,
"I definitely don't have it in me to clean the whole house tonight, but I can pick up and order things for 15 minutes." Set timer.
Anne Lamontt wrote a great book called Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. The title comes from someone feeling overwhelmed about how to describe in an essay an amazing day spent amongst hundreds of birds. The advice was to just start, and describe them bird by bird.
Some of the best advice I ever read- and put into practice.

I am an ordinary person having extra-ordinary experiences! Always sincere, sometimes silly and an occasional writer of long sentences, I delight in sharing a snippet of my world where miracles, love and profound healing are all possible in the blink of an eye!
