Lovely, as always, Sarah! I love how you compare children with adults, and how many of us, as adults, do what we have to to fit in with our peers. Such an insightful piece.
I click with this so much! I used to wonder why it was that my mom (who had 6 kids) seemed to have no preferences. She always went with the flow and let others choose. I have found myself falling into that pattern with just two kids, and anyways, my tendency is to 'be open to whatever.' But when the choice is up to me, I often have a hell of a time making choices in so many areas of life! To answer your question, what I most want this week is to have some pockets of time where I do things just for fun, without worrying about productivity, perfection, or pleasing others. Thanks for asking:)
it's hard to make decisions for ourselves when we are making all the decisions for everyone else!!!! And LOVE your intention! Even five min makes a huge difference
Such an important question that’s I’ve always been horrible at answering. It hits close to home as we are doing a renovation and picking the floors has me so stressed lol. I know what floor I like but the internet says…I finally gave up and decided to just go with what I like. 🙂
Yes! Knowing what we want and acting from that place of want becomes even more complicated after having kids who happen to come with lots of WANTS and NEEDS. Such an important message, proud of you for hitting send (again).
