Poem-Maybe

 

~ Here’s a poem and a simple practice to help you find a moment of ease: Maybe by Nataly Kogan Maybe today you’ve done enough And can rest Even if you haven’t hacked your Inbox to zero Maybe today you can just enjoy that cookie Without counting calories Even if it’s not paleo / vegan / keto friendly Maybe today you can give less than 150% And not feel bad Even if everyone else is “grinding it out” Maybe today you can just love yourself Without having to be anything more Even if the world screams at you to find your best self Maybe today you can be grateful For all that you have Even if it’s not all you’ve ever wanted Maybe today you can practice your joy And love every moment Even if it’s not productive Maybe today You can be enough Because you are.

To give yourself more time with this poem and let its message land with you more fully: Put a hand on your heart and take three breaths. With each inhale, say: maybe today With each exhale, say: I can be enough When you finish, notice how you feel.
