Often times I find myself ignoring my body's needs to be healthy. Getting more sleep to maintain energy, spending less time with others to be a bit more self-reflective, or accepting that not-doing can be just as meaningful as doing are elements I know I should embrace, and still, I find I might ignore these things with the never ending fast-pace of life. This reflection has me thinking what genuine change in this regard might afford me...
Sometimes I find myself ignoring other people's problems if I do not feel like helping them. It can be easier to "not hear" something, than to try and fix it. I may be tired or busy, but when I think back on these situations, I often wish that I had not ignored those around me who I could have helped with just a little effort on my part.
Legislation - there are so many issues and problems trying to be solved at one time. Being in DC, it can feel especially overwhelming since it seems like everyone is keeping tabs on the "it" issues of yesterday, today and tomorrow. I have one or two issues that I follow closely and feel I can speak about. However, I ignore others because it feels impossible to be an expert on them all.
