    A “picopause” is a little loving nudge towards simplicity and serenity.

    Is what you are doing adding to your life, or is it just subtracting from your pain?

    A bit dark, perhaps, but a good question to ask ourselves now and then.

    What other people think about you is not your business.

    What you think they are thinking about you is probably not what they are thinking. You are terrible at guessing what other people are thinking. So stop trying to be a mind-reader.

    That thing you think is not good enough is probably good enough.

    As a self-identified addict (to food, to work, to other things that I use to distract myself from my feelings), I have a problem with knowing what “enough” means. If I do something, I want to do it perfectly. I want things to look and be perfect. I want to the world to act in a perfect way. Since I am human, I am not capable of perfection, and since the world is made up of humans, it also cannot be perfect. And yet, I seek perfection in big and little spaces in my life all the time.

    I need constant reminding to rein in my expectations and recognize when something is “good enough”.

    When I have done enough.

    That I am enough.
