Lessons Learned: Grace
"the hurrier I go, the behinder I get"...
This may be a famous quote from Lewis Carrolls "Alice in Wonderland" book, but this was also a regular Pennsylvania Dutch saying from my grandmother. Trying to fit too much in a tight time frame, and not closing anything out. And then to top it off, we can be so hard on ourselves, that it makes things even worse. What to do, what to do???
Lessons Learned: Grace- Sometimes we need to slow down, in order to speed up. The same grace that you show others when you acknowledge "hey, everyone is human, take it easy", yes that...that grace...REMEMBER THAT! Lay things out, be honest about what you can do and while every one creates some "stretch" to go above and beyond, make sure that it is reasonable. Setting unrealistic expectations causes frustration, and takes you off of the road to wellness. Being human means that we may miss the mark at times but guess what, by finding one more thing that doesn't work, you're getting it out of the way for the things that will. And thus endeth the lesson...
