Add the rocks to a glass jar, hear the sound? Is it uncomfortable? Sound wise, does it feel like the rocks are going to break the jar?... This is the perspective of someone disabled... a bit of sand stops the rocks from making so much sound or destroying the jar.. having some of the pebbles on the bottom with the sand gives a firm softer textured base for the rocks and the rest of the pebbles and then the sand to fill it up. People with dis abilities need to be enabled by doing the self care and pre preparation before the filling and also to have exceptions so that when things go sideways its not a stagnant point they can't pick up and over come again with out completely starting over. People who are disabled have a different internal talk that needs to be addressed when doing this type of self/work.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

I love this analogy, BUT this explanation has some flaws in the details.... If you look at Maslow's pyramid of human needs then you see, what layers of needs people have. Depending on the persons specific situation, they may have slightly different large rocks... However overal and in general having a jog, a was to put a roof over you and your family and food on the table as well as taking care of house/home is I believe on the biggest rocks in the jar...... Basic needs are the biggest rocks. Not ending up homeless, jobless is a big necessity. Every human being has a limit to their time and energy and money resources. No human can manage without good sleep for long. Priority managment is one of the most complex life lessons that we learn duing life... and the challenges of choosing what is most important probably never ends. See Julie Hanks boundry videos about boundries with family (the onion principle).... So having a jog/work and going to that job is a toop priority (big stone) BUT if the job does not allow you to spend time with family, go to medical preventative checkups, etc. then it is a TOXIC job. TOXIC rocks do not allow you to have other priorities and dont respect your other priorities....
