The Cult of Productivity

At the beginning of the month, I acknowledged the paradox of inviting you to slow down during a month when there is even more to do than usual.

This week I'd like to invite you to reflect on whether you (like me) sometimes find yourself equating your value with your level of productivity.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with wanting to be productive and feeling good about ticking things off your to-do list. ✔

What I am inviting you to do is acknowledge if you find yourself predisposed to feeling bad about less productive days, and if so, to gently allow yourself to let go of this and remember that you are enough as fully and completely on your less productive days as you are on your most productive days.
