Does anyone else suffer from this annoying habit “one more thing to do before I leave for the day?” I’m always rushing for the bus or am a few minutes late meeting someone because I did one more thing.
I’m not sure when or why I started this habit, but probably when the kids were young and there was always one more thing to do. I remembered when I lived in San Francisco, before kids, I walked to the bus stop in a leisurely fashion with plenty of time to spare. Actually, life in San Francisco was more relaxing and it’s unfair to compare New York City living to it.
My health is the #1 priority in my life. I don’t always treat it so, but my intention is to keep myself focused on my number one priority. It’s a learning curve for me, and every day I wake up reminding myself that “today my health is the most important focus for me.” When I go to bed, I ask how did I treat my physical being today. Was I neglectful, a little respectful or did I center my energies in treating my body as a priceless gift.
