If you abandon the present moment, you cannot live the moments of your daily life deeply. Thich Nhat Hanh

Accept the fact that you’ll never get it all done.

That’s right, you’re to do list is infinite. It’s the never ending story of your life. As soon as you check one thing off your list, three or more will magically appear. And this can be overwhelming, if you let it.

Sometimes just thinking about everything you have to do can cause you to be anxious or stressed. Even though the reality is that very rarely are the things on your list due to be done at the same time. In fact, I’m sure you’ve experienced on occasion and given some time, a task or to do that you’ve been stressing over mysteriously disappears from your list.

Stressing over, or fretting about future to do’s robs you of your opportunity to enjoy today. The constant living in the future, doesn’t allow you appreciate or even focus on what’s important today because it dilutes your energy. It doesn’t allow you to be present.

So free yourself from your constant worry about what you might or might not get done. And when I say this I don’t mean be irresponsible. In fact be more responsible for what’s in front of you right now. The sooner you come to terms with the fact you’ll never get it all done, the better off you’ll be. And the better you’ll be at right now.
