...is my favorite coping mechanism! "I won't think about that today. I'll think about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day!"

Life is so very overwhelming...always. Cultivating the ability to partition your thoughts..."box" up that which does not need immediate attention, is a necessary skill! Popular culture calls it being "in the moment." Enjoy/accomplish whatever is right in front of you at any given moment and work at keeping everything else "out-of-mind."

Women, especially, seem programed to multi-task (and this includes the concerns which burden our thoughts and hearts), and when I share here, it looks as if I have a million things going at once...but I'm devoted to doing/thinking about only what is "next." I also include a good bit of self-care as my "next" task on most days, too.

Take care of your self, first: body-mind-and-spirit. It may go "against your grain," but it is imperative!

Blessings,
Lenora
