We pride ourselves on the results of a project or how much we were able to get done rather than how well we are doing what we’re doing at the moment.

The next time we’re faced with a seemingly never-ending day of things to do, make it a point to recognize the overwhelm when it comes up. Then, break your priorities into smaller chunks or take things one day at a time. Congratulate yourself on the goodness of what you are doing with the help of this meditation.
