“Don’t let yourself get pressured into hurrying. Whenever you find yourself beginning to speed up during the day, repeat your mantram to help you slow down.”
As we approach Christmas, hustle and bustle can develop into manic and panic.
Now is a good time to appreciate the benefits of slowing down.
Whatever you are doing right now, stop, take a deep, calming breath, slow down, and enjoy this moment. Then enjoy what comes next. Keep on breathing, and slowing.
The world won't stop turning, but it may begin to spin a little slower, and that's good.
