Slow is Beautiful

“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why” ~ Eddie Cantor

Hello beautiful people,

Life moves pretty fast, I can’t believe it will be March on Saturday. It is gone so far. At home or in school I feel I am busy, busy, busy and sometimes busy doing nothing. When night comes there is still so much to do, so much I want to do before finally falling into the bed. This kind of life scares me, and I feel if I slow down, it would be like jumping off a moving train.

This may not be a problem to you but for me it is a serious one as I am a firm believer that this is the cause of my anxiety and why I am a bit short-tempered sometimes.

I feel like my mind is overstuffed, it is constantly bombarded with new knowledge, people, ideas and numbers. And I do not have enough time to absorb all these things.

It is frustrating when you find your self incapable to live your life the way you want to. You need to swim against the current to create your own rhythm of life, and you can imagine how hard this mission could be.

Living in the hectic pace of today’s world kills my creativity and sweep me into the vortex of confusion and stress. I love my brain and it is precious to me, and I know this may sound odd to you but I really do. So, I do not want my fast-paced life to wreak havoc on my brain.

Note to self.. Turn a blind eye to the velocity of today’s 24-hour lifestyles, take a deep breath and slow down to enjoy your life. Slow is beautiful.
