It’s time to slow down, literally
Is it ‘Jess’ me or does anyone find themselves preoccupied and speeding around?! I’m cursing home from work today, I notice a figure in the distance. Attempting to slow down, there are blue lights, and I’m getting pulled over. I wasn’t even paying attention just speeding along, all while thinking about work. Yesterday morning, I was driving and totally passed my daily exit. How you ask? Oh, that’s right I was thinking about work.
Now, you can insert anything that you may be thinking about… I usually find I do my best thinking while driving, it usually seems a bit therapeutic. Unfortunately, more recently my mind is racing, and I tend to get lost within the madness. Scary but true, I’ve found myself pulling into the drive thinking ‘how the hell did I get here?!’ It’s all very normal I’m sure, but I’m sitting here frustrated with myself. Frustrated that I need to refocus; stop overthinking and stop rushing because it’s starting to complicate things. One thing at a time; I don’t want to get caught up racing to the next moment and lose sight of the one I’m in.
While my concept of time and distance is a bit off. I’m challenging myself to allow myself enough time. Allow myself enough time to turn off my mind a bit. Allow myself time to get places safely (not only for myself but for my fellow travelers). ‘Jess’ tell me I’m not the only one on high speed that needs to pump the breaks? Take time for yourself.
Clear your mind, be in the present, and slow the hell down.
I deserved the ticket
