Slow Down

So many people run around their lives like they are in a race to get as much done as they can before they die. This really tends to cause a lot of health destroying stress in their lives. Remember the old saying.... "Take Time To Smell The Roses", there is such wisdom in this lesson.

When I would teach classes in awareness, the first thing I would have a person do is SLOW DOWN. They would start to slow down and walk to the beat of Mother Earth's heartbeat, not the fast beat of modern society. When you slow down, and you really can see this in nature, you notice so much that you've missed before.

I see so many people that seem to be in a hurry in everything they do. They drive fast, walk fast, talk fast, but does this really help them? Even commercials today are selling people on every second counts. But really, if you're a little late in most things will it cause major distress? Sure deadlines are important, but those should come few and far between.

Don't live by crisis mode. That is the reactive life, not a proactive life. Plan, work slow but steady and you'll get where you're going. Fast isn't necessarily the best way. As they say, haste makes waste.

So slow down, experience life, actually experience those things around you, not just speed through them.
