Nanea Hoffman – Sweatpants and Coffee, LLC. – “Distracted”
I vacillate between reading the news, reading just the headlines, or not reading the news at all. I feel the same about social media platforms. When all this is too grim, filled with too much bad stuff, hate, and stupidity, I take a break from it all.
Priorites in my life –
- I read.
- I draw or paint.
- I puzzle.
- I take a walk.
- I take a nap.
- I exercise.
- I listen to music.
- I dance.
- I look for things I find wonderful that I want to share with you on the blog.
- I watch a favorite movie.
- I reach out to a friend.
These things remind me not to get “distracted,” as Nanea Hoffman says so well, by all the stuff going wrong.
I’m lucky to have many wonderful priorities in my life that make each day worth living. I can make the world go away “when the world is too much with us,” as said by William Wordsworth, the English poet.
I think it’s a definite survival skill to make a go-to “sanity” list for ourselves and encourage people we care about to do the same, reminding ourselves of all the wonderful things we could be doing rather than stressing out over things we usually can’t control anyway.
