Lately I've noticed that "Hurry" has been controlling my life. No new reason for it, per se, I just got in the "hurrying mode" somewhere along the way and got stuck or became addicted to it. And then I realized I was drained and jumpy and my heart spent a lot of time racing, like I was making life and death decisions all day, ... but I'm not. So, I've taken to giving up hurrying. Simple, but not easy.
You're probably thinking, "..how will you get it all done this season if you don't hurry..." Well, I might not, but I think it's more important to redefine Hurry. "Hurrying has less to do with how fast you're moving and more to do with your agitation and preoccupation with being somewhere you're not. " I'm rereading an article on enjoying the ordinary and it helps me remember to be present and not always be thinking of the next thing on my To Do list.
This time of year seems to go by so fast as it is, so I'm committed to practicing being with every moment as it arises. Join me and keep me posted on your experiences.
