A true day off even once a month would be so nice. I'm not willing to accept the consequences of leaving things undone.

Tahm, I get that! I don’t like leaving things undone either. I hope you get a true day off soon!

Was happy to see that I do many of the things on your list. Getting away from screens is my next challenge. So many dopamine hits!

It has occurred to me for a couple years now that I have slowed down quite a bit. Reading your post, I realized I need to work on "savoring the moment." Thank you for that reminder!

Cathy, that's a tremendous accomplishment, especially in New York City! I love hearing that you're open to fine-tuning a little more with "savoring the moment." Much love!

Beautiful list Sandra. I still haven't mastered preparing for my day the night before, or savouring my food, despite many years of good intention! 🙃

Vicki, thank you! I believe that every little positive step is a step forward. We may never reach perfection, but even a little slower helps. Have a great weekend!
