Enough is enough.

“I’m not doing enough” is just a thought. It’s not a fact.

“Enough” isn’t an objective measure. 

I know this because I bet you think it even on days where you’ve checked everything off your list (and more).

I know this because if you ask yourself “what is enough?,” your answer is probably “more than what I’m doing.”

I know this because you tell yourself you aren’t doing enough, even when you are doing the most.

So you have four options.

1️⃣ Continue to beat yourself up for not doing enough. (Spoiler: This won’t help you do more or feel better.)

2️⃣ Do more and more in the hopes that you’ll magically think you’ve done enough. (Spoiler: You’ll never believe it.)

3️⃣ Change your definition of what “enough” is.

4️⃣Ditch “enough” as a measure altogether. 

I’d recommend 4. But 3 is a nice way to ease into 4. I’ve chosen 4.

Because I don’t like my reasons for sticking with 1 and 2:

I don’t like showing up from the mistaken belief that more is better. I don’t like what my life looks like when I’m waiting until I get “enough” done before I allow myself to feel good about me. I don’t like believing that I have to hustle for my worth as a human being.

I’ve tried to reach that point of enoughness. Many many times over the course of my life. I’ve never found where “enough” is.

Because it doesn’t exist. (THE LIMIT DOES NOT EXIST.)

Instead, I’ve chosen to change how I think about and respond to that thought, and I have to make that choice repeatedly.

Every time it pops up. 

What would it look like for you to do the same?

What would your life look like if you didn’t have that thought?

Or if you decided not to entertain it?
