*Rythm & Patience*
Since I moved in a little 1st floor appartement near the forest. I always want to make things perfect in my new house, but it always ended up messy, and " half way done ".
My kitchen is very dark. And there's always tons of dishes waiting...
I have to find a solution. First, I'll try to make my space work pretty and useful.
Perhaps, move the dishes corner to make more space. Wash glasses by hand, using a clean sponge,...
A woman I admire said " the kitchen is the heart of the house " (her86m²)
I truly need more patience when I do things...
This is a list of things i have to remember :
If there's sun, it's okay to take a break. To sit, contemplating the sunbeams. Water your plants, hydrate yourself. Eat a little snack !
Breathe. The guilty of " I did nothing today " shouldn't exist. At least, not in my mind anymore.
If it's raining, it's okay to stay inside. No rush to go out. Stay in warm !
Play music. When you're alone, cooking, or doing active things. Even if, I'm usually a very quiet person, I don't like the fact that I disturb somebody with sounds. But I'm persuaded that music has a psychological effect on human souls. I recommend to listen at Gymnopedies from E. Satie.
Turn on the lights. Even if the cost of electricity scares you, it's soooo important (especially in winter) to have a good lightning. For your eyes, and also for your health.
Okay, time to clean up the dishes !

This is a list of things i have to remember :
- Make things slowly. You don't have to rush. Take your time.
- Write your goals (day goals, month goals, even hours goals if you need)
- Take opportunities.

Maybe its the rush you feel when new things take place and expectations kinda collide with reality.
So it needs some time for that curve to flatten out a bit and you´re able to get in some sort of flow; like you already wrote, to let things be okay the way they are.
Because the morning will come, where you feel energetic, creative and take that spark by its hand, things will go so easily and all of a sudden you completed a whole room to your desire.
A little bit like turtles, they´re only going into a swimming motion when the waves are moving in the same direction. They´re not wasting energy, fighting against the waves.
