Symptoms of Going too fast....are you a rushaholic?



  "...When you feel tired all the time and like you’re just going through the motions, getting through the many things on your To-Do list but not engaging with them deeply or enjoying them very much. You don’t remember things as vividly when you rush through them. You feel like you’re racing through your life instead of actually living it. Illnesses are often the body’s way of saying 'Enough already, slow down!'"

from  Carl Honore In Praise of Slowness

What are you missing? Patience might be your antidote:

"Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later and somewhere else." ~ Henri Nouwen
