Where does the time go!?
Nov 6th, 2007 by Miranda
So… its been over 2 weeks since my last blog already… I dont get it!
Am I really that busy that a week feels like a day, a month like a week? The more I think about it, the more I realize that maybe time, as we think of it, is speeding up. Or….
One of the most abstract but helpful things I can say to the students thinking about studying at university, or anyone in general; SLOW DOWN!
I know you have heard this a million times before but i am going to attempt to say it in a way that is really going to hit home for those who read this. You all already know that busy=stress, stress=sick BUT there are healthy ways to be busy. You all know that scheduling hours of your day to specific activities, LOOKS laborous but gives us more time, so DO IT!
Society is DRIVING us to do more in an hour than we ever have before but the faster we go and the more we get done, the less we tend to appreciate that which we are doing. Instead of making a mad dash for the bus as it pulls away; STOP, take a deep breath and thank the powers that be for the minutes you get to spend on yourself while you wait for the next bus.
Breath when you wake up in the morning. Cold air or is it REFRESHING?
Falling asleep while you are studying. Don’t you think your body is trying to tell you something?
“I don’t have enough time!” you scream to yourself/friend/family member. But what is it that you are really saying? WE created time in order to more efficiently conduct our affairs but we don’t own it.. its not something you can touch. Let your anger towards time go… there is no such thing as time.
Chew your food and TASTE it…. Dammit.. there a reason why we are eating! And it definitely aint JUST to get that knot in our stomach out…. taste it and feel the energy it is giving you? Are you feeling sluggish, tired, crappy after your eating? Your body is telling you something!
Stop ignoring the obvious because of this awful sense of time.
NOW… Step 2 for me?: TAKING MY OWN ADVICE!
