A Mirror

Read each question slowly. Sit with it before writing. These are not questions to answer quickly.

Question 1

If exhaustion is a symptom rather than a diagnosis, what is it a symptom of for you right now? Take your time. Do not answer with the first thing that comes. Give yourself the second or third thing.

Question 2

What sentence have you been carrying into work, or into your home, every day for the last several months, that you have not said aloud to anyone, including yourself?

Question 3

If you stopped running from the question for one week and just let yourself sit with it, what is the worst realistic thing that would happen? And what is the most likely thing that would actually happen?

Weekly Practice

Read one of these each morning this week. Before the phone.

Day 1 I named the question I have been outrunning.
Day 2 I sat with it instead of filling the silence.
Day 3 I noticed what I reach for when the question gets close.
Day 4 I stopped calling avoidance productivity.
Day 5 I asked what I am afraid the answer might be.
Day 6 I let the question matter more than the busyness.
Day 7 I am willing to face it slowly, not all at once.
