friday

one of the things that i learn daily from matt is to 

slow down

sit

think

pray

be still

read

soak in the day

enjoy without doing

rest

i have this internal compulsion to 

accomplish

do

make

hurry

stress

cross off my to do list

look/be/seem busy

be productive

why is it that we take a certain pleasure in saying

"i am so busy" 

or 

one upping each other in how overworked, overtired, overstressed we are?

i feel like we often verbalize that we want to slow down, 

yet it becomes a badge of honor that we are constantly on the move.

maybe it's just me, but i think our culture rewards us going fast, faster, fastest.

here is to pausing instead of fast forwarding.

have a good weekend!

soak up doing little to nothing.

throw out your to do list, and enjoy the day!
