No kidding! Everything needs to be done YESTERDAY! Or everyone needs to be somewhere 2 hours ago!
I’ve lived in the country ’til my husband and I bought a house in the city and I can’t wait to get back there (we own a 1 acre forested lot). It doesn’t seem like much but back when I was living with my parents, I just felt more relax. I’d go outside, listen to birds and watch the leaves fall and sometimes see horse riders pass by… Now, the cars the zooming by and people are too busy to say Hi!
People of this beautiful planet, take 5 and look what’s around you!
I was having this same conversation a couple of days ago. Technology makes things “better” and instantaneous, but at what cost. We’ve forgotten how to rest. We don’t know the importance of slowing down. It’s crazy! We burn the candle at both ends and wonder why there’s not a third end to burn. It’s killing us. Living means being still every once in a while. Resting is about refreshing and renewing. Without it, we become stale, worn-out, burned-out, unproductive, unfeeling, uncaring creatures.
Let’s try to take a breath every once in a while. Thanks for the reminder, Adii.
Thank you, Adii, for posting this. You’re absolutely spot-on. I am fascinated on a regular basis by how this desire to run at rocket speed 24/7 permeates our lives, both personal and business. With my work, I see business owners wanting to skip the important parts of identifying themselves, and getting clear on what they stand for and why they exist so that they may move straight to maximum sales (of course, it never works that way). I often see business owners with no personal life, so they work all day, network at night, then hit the gym, and wonder why they are drained for inspiration when it is time to write the blog entries while eating supper.
It’s all about balance. I take part of every day to slow down, relax, and gain inspiration on the bicycle. It’s that down-time when I process and learn the most.
How do you relax?
Never enough time when you need it, too much when you don’t want it (like when you’re waiting impatiently)
Time is the ultimate goldilocks ingredient, too much, too little, but never just right!
Hehe. but isn’t the onus on us to make it work though i.e. bend it to our will (at least sometimes)?
