Unloading the dish washer felt like a huge task. Procrastinating with YouTube I stumbled upon a video about a man living a simple life and being fully absorbed in every moment. Unloading the dish washer I realized once again that it was an easy task, and one I could even find joy in. Unloading the dishwasher is easy. But then I should load the dishwasher. And maybe that will be hard. After I load the dishes I should really do some paper work I’ve been putting off. Then I wanted to wind down for the day and maybe write a little. Three simple tasks followed by my end of day rituals made each simple task sound awful. Every single one was easy and even came with some joy.
Unloading the dishwasher is easy. Unless you’re concerned with the next tasks. Which are then also easy, unless you let them all combine into one big task in your mind.
Make a point of being fully absorbed in your next little mission. Just start on it and try to find the simple joy in working on one thing. When your mind drifts to the next things on your list, remind yourself that you will handle those things just as easily with a little patience and focus. Then let your focus naturally drift back to the task at hand.
Keep this simple thought in mind when you begin to worry about the future: “I’ll Handle It”
You will handle it.
