Sometimes its better to let things go unfinished

I was in an uncharacteristically crabby mood this morning. I felt anxious, irritable, and restless, and I didn’t understand why.

I couldn’t wrap my mind around it, which only felt more frustrating.

I got into my morning routine, starting with meditation. It felt satisfying to go through the routine but the restlessness and anger was still present.

Eventually, time caught up with before I could finish. I was in the final part of my routine—journaling—and hadn’t gotten to blog for the day, but I had plans with my partner and her family. I felt split between doing what we planned, canceling, or pushing back the plans in order to finish my tasks.

I decided to leave this stuff unfinished and come back to it when I can.

A full day unfolded and now it’s 10pm...

I’m just now getting to the blogging.
I haven’t finished the journaling.
I’m not sure I’ll even have the energy to finish the journaling.
And, it’s been a really great day.

Honestly, the feelings from the morning came up a few times today. An eagerness and irritation about the unfinished tasks come thru strongly a few times too.

In hindsight, I want to do the meaningful things BUT I don’t want to be over-attached to those things at the detriment of a better quality of life.

I could’ve manically focused on getting the things done today, and I wouldn’t have had as great of a day.

Sometimes its better to let things go unfinished and trust the flow.
