I have to admit that I used to think it was exhausting the way life is full of activities. Everyday we wake, we start off doing things like grooming, breakfast, etc. But since I started leaning into it and appreciating the mundane some more, I have come to find it fulfilling to and enriching that I get to do all these little things everyday to make my life better. Instead of complaining that life is full of tiring activities, I have learnt to appreciate the fact that I am able to do all these things with ease.
Indeed, life is all about maintenance, about taking care of ourselves, our environment, and all the things we love. As you know, when we don't care for things they wither and die. It might feel overwhelming having to show up everyday for ourselves and others, but it is nothing short of a blessing.
It is graceful to care for things and watch them grow; to be able to maintain the things we have and life in general, including honoring and improving our creative process. Everyday we take a shower, have some meal, go to work, hang with friends, are all part of life's maintenance - keeping the scale balanced.
Cheers to staying mindful.
