"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast ― you also miss the sense of where you are going and why." ― Eddie Cantor
Everyone has a busy life, packed with appointments, meetings, chores and even a little fun, but often we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed with all we "have" to do. But how much of what we schedule do we really have to do? Why do we feel a need to pack into our days as much as is humanly possible? Are we overbooking ourselves to avoid sitting with uncomfortable feelings, to feel important or because we fear saying "no" to people? If we race from activity to activity we miss out on the present moment. Much of the richness of life is in those little moments. Just for today, cross one thing off your to-do list. See how that feels. Allow yourself to slow down and cherish every moment of the day.
