The secret to living well is never to do as much as you can.
LIVING YOUR YOGA: Many of us measure our self-worth by how much we get accomplished each day. Consider this: our worth is not based on accomplishment but on our existence as a whole human being. Today resolve to do 10 percent less and enjoy yourself more.
Confession - I didn't specifically do this today. Confession - I've been doing this for the past 10 months and it's been amazing! In fact, doing less is how this blog began (Do Nothing). I've been very busy getting things ready for my studio, but even with a busy schedule it's important to take time out for what really matters. I remember hearing someone comment once about what they wanted their tombstone to say. Maybe, "She loved and was loved", or "She lived fully", but certainly not "She completed her checklist", or "She worked 20 hours a day", or "wait... who?" This exercise isn't about being lazy; it's about cutting out what isn't essential so you can really live your life to the fullest. Enjoy who you are, not what you accomplish!
"Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think."
