I agree, it doesn't matter what you are doing, we can all slow down and be more present in the moment. john,

When you are head-down, full-steam, you don't have time to experience the thought that lead you to make decisions. When this occurs, you get no richness from what you've done, you don't learn new things and you are cursed to repeat mistakes you've made. Great article, and you published at the perfect time for it to have the most impact on me, personally. Thanks! Ryan Jo-Ann,

I never thought about how when we rush things we actually miss out on alot and don't appreciate the moment. Thanks for the insight. Roxanne Jo-Ann,

I acknowledge you for your awareness that rushing can actually be an unnecessary habit- I had not thought of that, although I have known people to be habitually late. As for your intention for balance- you go girl! Elaine,

It's so very true! Being in college, you get the feeling that everything needs to be done "now, now, now" when in reality, if you just calm down, a weight is lifted off your shoulders.

I was always feeling rushed and overcommitted. Several years ago, I was driving to an appointment. I was rushing and angry at slow drivers who got in my way. I could feel my heart racing and a tightness throughout my body, especially my neck and shoulders. Then I took a look at what was going on. I was very early. There was no need to rush, but it was a habit. Rushing was so ingrained in me that it's taken years to finally slow down. I was laid off a year and a half ago and am just now at the point that I don't feel the need to rush. Actually, I may have gone too far the other way as I haven't felt motivated to accomplish much over the last several months. My goal is to find a middle place.
