Karen, I remember being in that world (the world of rushing here and there to meet timelines and make sure the girls were where they were supposed to be)! And, I remember a few distinct times of just stopping - mid-stream - stopping. I did this as a way of setting my reset button! Just pausing mid-stream to get re-focused did and does just that - refocuses me. I am never, nor have I ever been at my best when I rushed. Being more focused on the task leaves me less available to really living. I know it's a challenge. It's worth it. Thanks for your comments all.

I am sitting at work rushing to get things done that have to meet timelines knowing that I also have to get my daughter to gymnastics on time not to mention dinner.

I love the 'slowing down to the pace of the verb you are in.' Thank you for that. Now, if I can just get that through to the leaders I work with. I most certainly will continue to try. And your beautiful lanugage will help me. “We are each victim to a self-limiting line of thinking – as often as we allow the shoulds of others to overrule the ought of authenticity.” I love the ‘slowing down to the pace of the verb you are in.’ Thank you for that.

It really appeals to the former English major hidden inside me. Rushing is such a destructive way of living, even though we do it so often, thinking it is so important to be someplace else. Thanks, Melanie, for reminding me to breathe, and enjoy where I am right now. I love the idea of being in the verb you are in! It really appeals to the former English major hidden inside me.
