Hurrying


Is something we all do but very differently

Some are organized for most things and proceed comfortably through their routines

Others are easily distracted and have to rush

For some too many things intrude into their lives, unexpected events arise rushing results

Over the course of a year the stress induced by modern life and rushing is not inconsiderable

So how come so many people do not adjust to their realities?

If we find ourselves caught in traffic over and over

Caught in crowds all trying to get on the same bus, metro whatever every day

Eating in the same crowded restaurant week in week out

Why oh why do we not redesign our lives?

What stubborn nature accepts this pressure, this stress?

Basically a stubborn fixation that there ought to be time

There ought to be a place

There might be a seat

It will be different today

Deep breath and examine if you too are forlornly pretending that things might magically change

Pigs indeed might fly but waiting for this to happen is not very realistic

A life without hurry and stress is pretty neat

Having time to enjoy the view

Eating without rushing

Sleeping easily without thoughts of things not done is easier and nicer

While you might pretend that hurrying is unavoidable the truth is that you can change this situation

But only you can change it

By deciding to review why you allow yourself to repeatedly put yourself under stress

Why you allow this to continue day after day

Why not resolve to change this now?

Only you can do this

No one else can make this choice

Constant hurrying is not good for your health

Hurrying is not inevitable
