Slow Down - Don't Hurry! - (3839)

During the day we hurry a lot don't we? We all have a rush time. 

If we don't rush then things won't get done on time. Sometimes though we are so use to rushing that we rush everything even when we don't have to.

We have to stop that!

When we are rushing we are not too present. We are ahead of ourselves. Ahead of our present momentary reality. Our mind is thinking several steps ahead of what we are currently doing. In other words meaning we are not present. Then no wonder why we feel that life is flying past and that we are not even living the days, and that they are just slipping through the gaps between our fingers.

To slow down, be mindful of what we are doing in the moment is to be present. Rushing does not feel good and is not so helpful to awaken more our consciousness. It makes it more sleepy actually. Doesn't it?

Self-observation and alertness is the same as to be mindful.
