In the words of Ferris Bueller , "Life moves pretty fast." I dare you to slow down. I double dog dare you.
I drive too fast and too aggressively, rush in and out of stores, text instead of talk, grab and go instant/fast food, multi-task my way through the day, gulp instead of sipping...Sound familiar? I know I'm missing out.
What if...
I dedicate myself today to doing less today
I cook a meal on the stove not in the microwave
I chew my food and focus on tasting it
I pull over to the right lane and pace with the traffic
I do one thing at a time...ONE THING AT A TIME from start to finish
I call instead of texting
I visit instead of emailing
I look at the people around me and consider them as, well, people who are also living too fast
I linger for a moment longer in a conversation...somewhere past the 'Hi. Fine. Good. Nice weather" phase of the conversation
What is, just for today, I slowed the F&$%k down?
Yep. Today.
