I love this! Thank you!! Jim and I listened to it together in bed this morning for the first time. He needed to hear it and I’m glad he slowed down with the overs to hear it with me. It was a great reminder after a long busy day of overs of kids sporting events and birthday planning and just too much. So I think we’ll stay in bed just a bit longer and do nothing and slow down for a few more hours. Thank you, we love you!

I've struggled with this for such a long time. Comparing my productivity in life to others around me and feeling like I'm not doing enough. But I've learned to listen to my body when it's tired, that I know my limits at least. It's something i constantly have to fight, this hustle culture. Thank you for the reinforcement!

YES! Comparison truly is the thief of such joy. Here's to the secret language our bodies whisper, and hearing what they say.

What a thought provoking post with so much truth that I know I am a guilty party……. Still…. I think of myself as more of an optimist than the other side of that word…. I find myself more and more “OVER” joyed in my life now…… it’s a wonderful feeling, one that creates interest, love, happiness, curiosities, often contentment….. I truly wish that for others and hope your post finds them reflecting on who they are and hope they too can find…. Overjoyed!!!

I needed this today. More than once I have reached out to you when I didn't think I could keep trying to live without all the overs. You and this community keep me going 🙏

Really felt this one. I definitely over just about everything. I’m aware of that and over correct 😕and then the pendulum swings too far the other way. I’ve been trying to find the right balance in there somewhere.

So. Freaking. Beautiful. I just love this topic, this conversation, this reminder. It's definitely been ruminating in my mind this year as a lot in my life has shifted and I'm finally starting to find my stride in so many areas of my life.

Have you read "The Wisdom of Insecurity" by Alan Watts? I read it years ago and have re-visited it over the years. Amazing how true it rings, even though it was written long ago. Alan had great foresight and wisdom. I love his work, and this book is one of my favorites.
