One for the most exhausting way to live is to treat everything like an emergency.
Somethings can wait, something can be done slowly, somethings can be delegated, some moments are meant to be lived, not rushed. You don’t have to rush through life just because you are good at handling pressure.
Most people don’t know how to slow down because their nervous system has gotten used to urgency, and pressure.
This can be from the environment you grew up in, the career you chose, or you simply built that identity around yourself.
Whatever the origin, it can easily become a pattern in your brain and nervous system. The saddest sign is you can be physically present while mentally living three-five days ahead.
Learning to reset your nervous system to slow down doesn’t mean you have to become careless or ignore important responsibilities. It’s simply distinguish what requires your urgent action and what can be done at pace or later.
You may be surprised by how many things you handle with urgency that simply wasn’t an emergency.
