Hurry & Hustle to Pause & Feel

HURRY!

•

I remember heading out to the garage door to TRY and run one summer evening. With my dog already at the end of the driveway waiting for me, I fumbled with my AirPods to get my music connected. I hit play and the famous words of Alabama blared through my speakers…”I’m in a hurry to get things done. Oh I rush and rush until life’s no fun..”

•

As I quick tried to get my bluetooth connected, I heard my dad yell from across they yard. “Yep. That sounds about right for you.” With an eye roll, half smirk and shrug I took off to catch up to my dog.

The thing is I can’t hear the song without it hitting different anymore. With less than 40 days until i put on my cap and gown, I find myself hurrying to cross off this and that and then some. 

HURRY HURRY HURRY, HUSTLE HUSTLE HUSTLE

How about pause, listen, feel and live?

I am far from the most patient of people and someone who naturally wants to pause, listen, feel and live but I can’t help but wonder how different we treat ourselves and each other if we all did this a little more. 

I do my best to pray & meditate each morning and reflect each night. It doesn’t happen all the time but I try and it’s made quite the difference. 

I’m less anxious. Smile more. Feel more. See more blessings every single day.

Take 1 minute to just sit and be. What’s one little blessing today?
