Day 22

To simplify my life, I should do some things that I’m currently not putting into practice though.
I’m always aware of what I could do to simplify my life, but there’s this resistance that stops me from actually doing it.
I know for sure that, to simplify my life, I should do fewer things that I impose on myself throughout the day. I can mentally set priorities, but in practice I don’t know how to hold myself back—I keep trying to do one thing after another, even when some of them have little real value. I try to fit everything in, and most of the time I end up exhausting myself physically.
I would like to change this aspect of myself as soon as possible, but when I try to do it, it feels unnatural — like I’m forcing myself — to decide not to complete certain things I had planned to do. Maybe this is proof that I struggle to let go and that I always need to keep everything under control.
To live more simply and with less heaviness. That’s how I would like to live

 

One last thing: I think what’s helping me the most right now is the TMS LIST and journaling by drawing from it. It’s helping me focus on what stresses me and makes me angry. It keeps me centered on the problems.
