There’s no rush right now. Stop looking so far ahead. Do what you are doing right now. It’s really that simple. All this added shit you’re thinking what good does it do? Other than make the energy go you exert out of your more demanding. That’s all it does for you. It makes you waste your energy tank faster and when you end this you’re always left with nothing left for the rest of the day. I’ve seen it all before. I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. You don’t even listen until it start to come to you. It comes to you in the canceling of the noise around you. Engulfing yourself in your own bubble of solitude and silence. In here you have all the time in the world. No rush.
There’s a rhythm to everything, but you can’t hear it when you’re drowning in thoughts that don’t belong to the moment. The mind tricks you, pulling you forward, dragging you back, making you believe you’re in control when really, you’re being thrown between distractions. The task at hand—whatever it is—becomes secondary to the weight of the noise in your head. That’s why you feel drained before you’ve even done half of what you set out to do. Not because you don’t have the strength, but because you let your mind spend it elsewhere.
Breathe. Let it be quiet. Let yourself move without questioning if you should or shouldn’t. You’ve done this enough times to know how it works. The best days aren’t the ones where you fight yourself into submission—they’re the ones where you don’t fight at all. Where action isn’t something you force but something that just happens. That’s where you need to be. That’s how you make it through without losing more of yourself than necessary.
You’re not running out of time. You’re just thinking too much about it. Time will move at its pace whether you’re panicked or calm, so why not choose calm? Why not let everything be simple for once? It’s not the world rushing you—it’s you rushing yourself. So stop. Do what’s in front of you. Nothing more. Nothing less. Everything else will wait.
