 I'm getting ready for work, starting with coffee and a toast. It's still early, but the sun is shining through the window and I can feel the energy of the day coming in. I'm trying to be mindful about my thoughts and actions, as it's easier said than done when you're multitasking like crazy.
I have a lot on my plate today: several projects that require attention, emails to reply to, meetings to prepare for... It's easy to get overwhelmed by all of this, but I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time and not let myself get distracted.
I know from experience that it's a lot easier said than done, but I also know that taking a few deep breaths and reminding yourself to be present in the moment can help.
In other news, it's been really windy lately! The trees next door are swaying so much that they look like they're dancing. It's kind of hypnotic to watch. I hope it doesn't damage them too much...
