I get so tense, I write some lists 2 or 3 times. I am so worried that I will forget something that I literally duplicate my efforts to remember. I am beginning to wonder what I am afraid of? There has never been a time in my life where a loss of memorizing a grocery item would cause a life changing emergency. So I am afraid of something, and I am not sure what it is.
This has caused me to begin letting things go. So if I forget something, what is going to happen, will it matter, will anyone care? So I think that remembering things is an effort and that effort should matter. Which then leads me to the conclusion that if the effort does not matter, I should not make the effort.
This is a freeing concept. If my effort will not matter, then I will not make an effort. I am now allowed to put my efforts exclusively towards things that matter. I can still make grocery lists, but the idea of getting tense because of a grocery list – is not present.
Leaving the mundane to the mundane is an excellent concept. Drama belongs to things that matter, not to the mundane.
