“I don’t multi-task anymore. I have realised there is no need to be juggling everything like a clown. I don’t need to do cartwheels balancing a cup of coffee! No need to race to the end. Choose what you need and see it through with love. Give it your all. And then take another step, in harmony,” she began.
She also stressed that “life still goes on”, and one shouldn’t let it overwhelm you. Check out the text of her post which she shared along with a picture of herself doing aerial yoga.
Here’s the full text:
If I don’t clean that extra drawer todayOr if my pillow is not plumped upMy many emails I have not yet openedIf I don’t have all my ducks in a rowIt’s not going to make a difference, actuallyLife will still go on
I rather multitask with my feelingsCan I be kinder, more helpful, more patient and just love a lot simultaneouslyCan I not lose my coolWhen everything is not being played the rules
I now feel that everything does happen in timeThere is a hymn I used to sing that goes“He makes all things beautiful in his time”So somewhere along the line, I have let things be, a bitI have begun to trustI have stopped the chase, the run to embraceThe finish line…Everything does not have to be perfect
I have become slowerSavouring the stroll
Dedicating it to all women, she said,
“Slow down there are no medals for doing it allChoose what you loveAnd give that your allPrioritise what you needAnd then look at your wantsTake time out to just len to musicPut some cream on your facePauseHug your teensLook after your parentsThey are the most beautiful part of thee
Just be, my dear sersAnd enjoy each dayDo what you need toThe rest, que sera sera, we sayDon’t worry, what is yours, will not go away …Hold each other up ..Adjust each other’s crowns ..And don’t forgetThe most important one …You …Just be you ..You are the greatest gift of all …”
Her friends and followers reacted appreciatively to her powerful lines. Actor Shruti Seth wrote, “These are very wise words Maria, and a beautiful reminder to breathe, love and let go”, while actor Tisca Chopra said, “Wow”.
Others commented, “beautiful”, “exceptional”, and “love this”.
