One of the difficulties that I'm having is simply letting go of some things. I think about my clients way too much. There's this saying that's bandied about my agency a lot, and it's "Don't work harder than the client." I'm struggling with it a bit in that I take on so much responsibility...way too much. I'm researching, thinking, pondering and it's probably leading to burnout. I have to let go of this perfectionism of having to do all the right things all the time, and trust myself and the process...and the clients!

I've been catching myself and bringing myself back to the moment a lot lately. My mind will wander to a certain client or two, and I'll take a deep breath (well, to be honest, after admonishing myself for letting my mind go to this...shame, shame), and then come back to the present. If this means coming back to the breath, so be it! If it means distraction, so be it.

My mantra is "learning to live is learning to let go"...
