More on Enoughness

A bit more on Enoughness....because it is a big issue for me...

One of the things I have found over time is that if I listen carefully, a lot of the time the things that are food issues are also echoed in other areas of life. Yes, I have issues around enoughness with food...but I also have them around other things...the biggest one right now is that there is never enough time to do everything I would like to do and that makes me feel squished, closed in, claustraphobic sometimes. What I think I have been learning the past few weeks is that it isn't so much about what I have or don't have...it is about my attitude toward myself and what I have that makes the difference. A few weeks ago I was stressing about work...I work very long hours...and still there are always dozens of things I would like to do...and I am always finding myself limited by the lack of time to do them.

I think sometimes it isn't about taking a class and learning to manage time better, it is about learning to give ourselves space and time. It's about not driving ourselves nuts with all the tasks we didn't get done but giving ourselves a pat on the back for the ones we did accomplish.
