Advice to Slow Down

Trying to get as much done as possible, I rush from one thing to the next. That was me a couple of weeks ago when I was preparing for a training event at my job. The day before the training, I rushed to finish setting up the room with my coworkers, only to hurry out of work to get to my hair appointment on time. On my way to the salon, I had a pre-scheduled call to catch up with a relationship/life coach I had not spoken to in years. Even the call felt rushed as I tried to quickly summarize the past five years since we last spoke while navigating rush hour traffic. She listened and asked some questions. Her advice to me? Slow down.
