Prompt: Write a letter to the part of you that carries the weight of “should.”
I am having a very difficult time with slowing down and doing less. I’m being forced to slow down because of my broken wrist and am struggling to accept the reality of it. There are always things that I want to do but I’m not unable to do many of them, and I won’t be able to for a while.
I should slow down. I should be doing less. I should turn my focus to “slow living,” if I can figure out what it means to me. I should get things done. I should figure out what I can do and focus on doing them. I should take advantage of this time.
Much like my fall, this injury came abruptly and has been incredibly disruptive.
