Comfort of not rushing

Comfort #7 – Comfort of not rushing.

It has taken me a long time to quit pressuring myself to do things.

I had acquired every strategy for getting multiple things done in an intense choreography.

Now, I allow myself to take my time.

I even consciously walk slowly around my apartment.

After a lifetime of rushing, it feels like a complete luxury not to do so.

Taking a deep breath allows me to slow down.

I can observe what is going on without getting caught up in the rush.

I can comfort myself with a cup of tea as I watch the sunlight.

I can pause in my reading to look up from time to time.

I can listen for the next idea as I sit down to write.

With my new view, I can see how caught up I was in the atmosphere around me.

I choose to make my own atmosphere now.

I choose the elements which comfort me.

I move at my own pace.

I choose different ways of doing things which allow me to remain calm.

I take the time to add happiness into my day.

Even small moments allow me to become calm.

I especially include things I love to do.

I have continuing projects which allow me to move into happiness and calm.

I love having the opportunity to reflect.

I have chosen to have enough.

I am surrounded by enough.

In my feeling of enough, I do not rush.

What I love is having control over my time.

I live in the comfort of not rushing, of doing what I love to do, one breath at a time.
