Transcript
- Sarahn Sankofa: Hello, beautiful people. Today is September the 25th, and today's calendar challenge is happily miss out on something. Our theme for this month is nourish yourself. So we're taking our time to give our bodies, our minds, our spirits the love that it needs, and we are neglecting and ignoring all of the things that weigh us down. This is a month that's all about self-care, and sometimes self-care. Is happily missing out on something. That's right. You don't need to be everywhere. Do everything, accept every invitation to have a joyful life. Clear out that calendar. I know me, I've always been one of those, I'ma squeeze it in, I'm gonna do this, I'ma do that, go from here to there. And I loved the life of being busy. And now with time, with ease, and as I invite more joy into my life, when I ask myself, what is it that I really want? Sometimes I want to happily miss out. So today, miss out. And even if today is not the day that you're missing out, today is the day that you can be happy about missing out. All right. You don't have to explain every decision to stay home. FOMO can make us chase experiences we don't even genuinely want. So saying no to one thing means saying yes to something else, your peace, your priorities, your energy, or your own plans. And there's joy in realizing that your own plans of sitting on your couch and doing nothing is all the joy you need. Decline one thing today that you genuinely don't want to do, and then enjoy your decision without guilt. You're not missing out when you're exactly where you want to be. Just enough is more than enough, Saran says.
