I Choose This!

Feb 10, 2025

I'm in a design meeting at work where my thoughts take me to other companies where

things would be organized,

things would be easy,

things would be figured out,

I would be liked more,

I would have better pay,

I would have more creative freedom,

better hours,

better benefits,

better team,

better everything.

I start to worry about the design decisions and all the mistakes I have ever made.

I start to worry about my job and what would happen if I lost it.

I start to worry about how I would pay my bills and support my family.

I’m not smart enough!

I’m not educated enough!

I’m not fit enough!

My thoughts wander.

My thoughts get darker.

My thoughts run away.

But I snap out of it…

I snap out of the day dreaming,

the second guessing,

the ruminating,

to get back to this moment,

in my body,

in this meeting,

in the present moment,

with all the wonderful possibilities,

with all the imperfection,

with everything just as it is.

I breath deeply and appreciate

the work I do,

the people besides me,

the moment in front of me, just as it is.

I choose this moment in front of me, just as it is!

I choose this moment in front of me!

I choose this moment!

I choose this!
