I have always been drawn to these two words. The very image of floating through your life, with grace and an absence of pressure or anxiousness inspires me.
I remember a coach of mine having to repeatedly remind me, ‘there’s no need to rush’. This was in response to my walking through a hotel to get to my room to retrieve something and then get back to the meeting room. Picture me overtaking people in the hallway, pushing the elevator button more than once, fiddling in my purse for my room key. I was the very image of franticness. Why? Surely there was enough time to run this errand with ease, as my coach said.
As I’ve focussed on filling my life with more ease and effortlessness, I’ve come to realize there is enough time to get everything done without having to rush and push in frustration and haste.
And as I keep working to dial this down for myself, I can feel my heart rate slowing. I can breathe easier.
And I’m betting I’m much easier to be around.
