Chapter 6 TIME
Another way to help you deal is to slow down. Give yourself the gift of time. There always seems to be a sense of urgency with what you do, but does it really help to rush around?
Compare that to what happens when you try to rush through heavy traffic. You generally don't get any further ahead, only more annoyed.
So slow down, move over, let that bunch of cars coming up from behind pass you by. You'll still get where you're going, and arrive in a much better mood. (Pay attention to how you happen to be driving, it's a pretty good reflection of your emotional state.)
Another way to slow down is to do one thing at a time, and then finish it. We all tend to multitask, there's often so much to get done, that we start multiple projects, then feel overwhelmed because there's not enough time to work on, let alone finish any of them.
That's when it's time to slow down, focus on one project at a time, finish it, then move on to the next.
Even if you currently have multiple projects going on, make a list, prioritize, set some aside so you can focus your efforts. The sense of accomplishment will grow with each completion.
Time is a gift, one of the few things in life you can never get back once it's gone. So, waiting for all the hard work to be done before giving yourself permission to have fun won't work. You'll be waiting a very long time.
Remember, although the work you do is important, it is not all that you are. You are so much more.
So don't forget to have fun. Enjoy time, don't waste it by spending it being miserable.
Go ahead, allow yourself to have fun and enjoy life.
You deserve it!
