So, today was a self-care day. i was feeling off-centered and so the focus was on self, and not on stressors.
Nails and hair, were the self-care tasks for today.
For the first time in a long time, i took really genuine serious time to do my nails. Generally i rush through them to get them done enough to suffice. Not today. Today it was on my task list.
my first thought: "They have to be perfect."
This is something i struggle with. So, i took a deep mental breath, and repeated something that i have been doing for a little while now.
"It does not have to be perfect in result, what it has to be--is done to the best of my ability with the energy, focus, and time that i have to devote to it."
i devoted my time and focus, and the result is happy making.
