In Your Busyness, Can You Slow Down?

Last week I had an enormous amount of work that needed to – had to – get done, largely due to my Mexico vacation !  I’ve been wrestling with time for “quite some time” – years actually !  I’ve gotten in a bad habit, a lifestyle, of feeling I need to rush.   How I dealt with all the work I had to get done was  amazing.  I relaxed and surrendered, and as a result, I was more peaceful and calm, and I got more done than I thought I would.  

Why is this?  How can it be that more got done without rushing?  I would love to hear your thoughts on this !  By what mechanism do you think this occurs?

When I’m in a place of complete trust and surrender, however, I find myself slowing down.  It’s as if I have a knowing that somehow – and really, it is “somehow” (Spirit, The Creator) it all gets done.  Afterall, I’ve always gotten everything done that I need to get done.  Stress or no stress, rushing or no rushing, pressure or no pressure, I usually always get done what I intend to get done – sooner or later  !   I have a smile on my face now, as I write this, for I realize that in the end, it really doesn’t matter.  I’ll get done what I get done.  It is what it is !

How is it that you get things done?  Do you rush or are you relaxed?  Are you pressuring yourself, or critizing yourself?
