You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."

Letting Go of Urgency

One thing at a time.

That's all we have to do. Not two things at once, but one thing done in peace.

One task at a time. One feeling at a time. One day at a time. One problem at a time. One step at a time.

One pleasure at a time.

Relax. Let go of urgency. Begin calmly now. Take one thing at a time.

See how everything works out?

Today, I will peacefully approach one thing at a time. When in doubt, I will take first things first.

Oh good grief... this is so me!!

You are not alone, Katchie--I took this to heart this AM, so determined to do what it said. In a matter of an hour or so, I had several different irons in the fire and eventually left for work feeling so unsettled b/c I had not finished ANYTHING.

I was the perfect example of what NOT to do.

The one good thing about doing something really poorly? You're almost BOUND to do it better next time! And like Scarlett said, "Tomorrow is another day."
