Life is Fast, Slow Down...

“Sometimes our stop-doing list needs to be bigger than our to-do list.”
― Patti Digh

Slow Down and Focus On What Is Important ... YOU!

Over the years we have all been trained to believe that a fast paced life will make us more successful. After all, faster is better, faster helps us to be even more productive and when we work faster we will certainly be respected and praised. Or is all this just something we have been led to believe for others personal agendas? You need to take care of yourself. A healthy you will always be the most successful you!

So, while you are always willing to push through life, day in and day out, fill your calendar with more appointments than are humanly possible and trade the happiness you could have today for the happiness that tomorrow “might” bring, you are missing out on what is there for you now!

Fortunately, you, and I, can change. We can get out of this rut we have put ourselves in!

It is possible to learn to slow down. We can be more focused and become there for ourselves, living our own lives. It is possible to create the routines needed to actually strengthen our productivity as well as our efficiency making it possible to enjoy each day.

This week, practice the art of slowing down. Then, you will experience how much more fulfilling life is when you are actually involved in it.

• Start by choosing to make space to breathe each and every day! Take a little “me” time four or five times every day. You can read, meditate, do a puzzle, whatever you find calming to your daily pace.
• Then, create and maintain your To-Do list(s). Manage your time, schedule your life in such a way that you will be able to handle the events you choose to handle. Remember; slow down does not equal death. In fact, slowing down might just equal life!
• Finally, be sure you are always present in everything you choose to do. It is your life, so live it!

Remember, life can ALWAYS BE BETTER!
