The Hurry-up Mentality - 5 Reasons to Slow Down

The Hurry-up Mentality - 5 Reasons to Slow Down

1.  I don't think it's possible to be happy when you're in a hurry.  "That guy tail gating me..he seems so happy! ya right! he he ...What is his secret to happiness?" :] Hes not happy..! because he's in a hurry.....and maybe for no good reason.

2.  Your body can begin to relax when you slow down. Check yourself  "do I really need to be in a rush right now... Can't I just be in the now moment and do the task in front of me without the need to rush."

3.  When you slow down you can see more clearly and then appreciate the important things in life like your kids, spouse, and family.  Allow your brain to rest and just "Be" with your loved ones.

We are much easier to get along with when we slow down.

4.  When we are in a hurry you make everyone and every thing else the ENEMY!  especially when driving ....remember these are real people let's be nice to each other... damn it :-)  Yes even when your driving. 

5.  It is NOT sexy to be in a hurry ...when was the last time you said "Wow!... look at that guy or girl I just love how they rush around with their tense body its so so Sexy!"  Relaxed people are definitely more attractive.  

So give it a try ...slow down a lil and see how you feel. GL :]

Before Sleep...zzz... Filter Your Day

Before Sleep...zzz... Filter Your Day

Before you go to sleep at night take a little journey inside your mind and recall the events of your day.

But ...filter out any negative events or circumstances ...we are looking for the treasures.

It may be that someone smiled at you or you had a pleasant conversation with a stranger. A hug from a family member.

You may remember some of these events and think "O yeah that was pretty cool!"  You were so busy entertaining problematic scenarios that you may well have forgotten it forever.

A lot of the time we let the negative aspects in our life overshadow or even blind us to the little treasures in our day. They are there...sometimes very apparent and sometimes hidden.

Most of us won't remember yesterday or the day before...unless we have taken the time to do so.

Take the time to find those little treasures and savor them...they are yours to keep.

This practice of reflection before sleep helps magnify and enhance the “positive” you know the "good stuff" in our life...even if we have to search hard for it....its worth the effort ...I think so. :]

Listen to Music! The Best Stress Relief

Listen to Music! The Best Stress Relief

Just as simple as that ….at least for me it is.

Remember when you where a kid. You were laying quietly on the floor listening to the Radio.

You would let you thoughts flow and daydream....it seems to me we don't give our self a chance to go to that place anymore.

No need to think about any dogmatic meditation technique. Just lay or sit (alone hopefully) and listen to music that you enjoy or that is relaxing. Allow your mind to wonder ....don't fight your train of though... just trust in this natural process. 

15 to 30 minutes is usually enough to get a nice mental reset.

Give it a shot again...you might be surprised how easily it can be to Relax.:]
