Keeping a bunch of plates spinning is a metaphor that is often used for being busy. Keeping a bunch of balls in the air (juggling) is used too.
In these acts, plates do get dropped. It’s okay. They just pick up another one, start it spinning, and continue with the act.
Last summer at Cirque du Soleil, I saw an absolutely amazing juggler drop a ball. He just continued on with his performance and rocked the house.
It is okay for us to drop a plate here and there. It is part of being human. Stuff will slip through the cracks etc. It is okay!
2nd thought: If your answer to, “How are you doing?” is “I’m busy”, you are telling God and the universe that I am not ready for more. I’ve got all I can handle right now thank you very much.
Say out loud, “I’m busy.” Does that bring your energy up or down? For most people it brings their energy down and brings up their levels of stress, pressure, and anxiety. It creates the feeling that there’s not enough of me to go around. Obviously this is not magnetic to our good.
What if instead your schedule is just right. What if there is enough time. What if it can be easy. What if it can be relaxed.
