Two ways to slow down in a hurry-up world!

Happy Monday! It certainly is a cold one around here. As I am sitting and writing this blog, it is 12 degrees outside and snowing. What is the weather like where you are? Today, I am sharing two ways to slow down in a hurry-up world!

Hurry up is a phrase that I catch myself saying all of the time. For example, before I hop into a meeting, I say I am going to hurry and take the dog out or hurry and grab some water. When my boys were little and they wanted me to do something for them, I had to hurry up, with what I was doing to give them my full attention. We live in a hurry-up world.

Hurry-up

I believe the Pandemic has caused many of us to slow down our hurry-ups. However, as time as moved along, my hurry-ups have started to come back.

Slow down…

Proverbs 8:34 states, “Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.”

This Proverbs teaches us to watch and wait at the doorway and we will be blessed. Maybe just maybe we miss our blessing because we are in a hurry. Rushing around can become a habit.

Two ways to slow down in a hurry-up world…

• Take time to breathe and relax between chores.
• Spend longer thinking and praying before making commitments.

Take a few minutes and ask yourself, why do I feel hurried all of the time? You may find out there really isn’t a good reason. Start today creating good habits for yourself. It is time to slow down in a hurry-up world.

Thank you for checking out my blog today. I hope the words blessed you.
