Where do you find yourself rushing through your days, or adding a level of urgency to areas of life that are clearly unimportant?
Where did all this striving to keep up or get ahead originate?
Where do the concepts of peer pressure — or the fear of missing out — have you trying to pack twenty pounds of potatoes into a ten-pound bag?
Years ago, my wife belonged to a needle craft club where she created various works of art a stitch at a time.
Sometimes a two-hour session would result in only a few square inches of her evolving masterpiece. Years later, these pieces have become increasingly meaningful because of how her meticulous efforts led to a one-and-only creation.
EXERCISE:
Where in your world would a slower pace help you seek, find, and stitch together a more beautiful and meaningful life?
