I have been doing pretty well with my goal to not rush around so much.

It’s been tricky to keep that goal in mind as I move through a festival this week but there have been several times that I have been flustered because I was short on time and then suddenly remembered that I don’t want to be rushing.

So, even though I didn’t have a lot of time, in each of those cases I was able to say, “Oh, right! I don’t rush.” And make the decision that while I had to keep moving fast, I was going to declare that feeing rushed wouldn’t help.

So I did.

And it make things better.

Because, after all, while reducing the number of my tasks or moving a bit faster might help me be quicker, feeling rushed doesn’t help and just makes me feel badly and arrive feeling flustered.

Deciding not to buy into the feeling of mental rushing means I arrive at my event feeling calmer and more able to do what needs doing.

And that’s a win.
