If someone were to watch a fast-forward movie of your typical day, what would they see? Constant rushing from the minute you wake up from chore-to-chore-to-chore? Someone slugging along in life, dreading everything that was coming next – from getting out of bed, to hauling yourself onto the train, to groaning at the thought of that next meeting? Or would they see someone who chooses their own pace – mindfully enjoying the tasks they perform, getting things done – but with a happy and serene attitude? If you feel that you fall into one of the two first categories, it may be useful to take some time to do something your really love. Or to do nothing at all. It will help you to reawaken your sense of vitality and you will say to yourself, “I need to do this more”. And you do need to do it more. Sitting with yourself and dealing with why you are constantly rushing or never looking forward to anything is an important step in mindfulness and taking subsequent action to improve your life.
