Feeling inspired by one of ’s posts where she reflects on all the hard questions she’s pondering like “what should I be doing?” or “what direction is my life heading?” all to boil it down to a simplified “what matters right now?” I usually live for these big life questions but right now they feel particularly overwhelming.
That’s all we have to ask right now. I’ve been a little absent lately, asking myself “how do I find stillness in the chaos?” And I keep coming back to a simple nudge towards the present moment. It’s cheesy as hell, but it’s true. We have everything we need here and now.
So, what matters right now? As I’m dealing with the chaos of loss, adulthood, burnout, and pressures of showing up in one piece? Right now, what matters is opening up my journal. Enjoying the coziness of a fresh hotel bed. Following the urge to write and share this. And listening to the still, small internal knowing that right now is enough.
Dear friend, what matters right now?
