And by the time we do arrive, we're ready for a morning break, almost too tired to work. I work with many people who are feeling pressured to do more, in less time, than ever before. In their attempts to accommodate the pressure, their work becomes inefficient, and they overwork, become irritable, resistive and demoralized. More than three quarters of the problems for which we seek medical attention are related to the speed and stress with which we function. We are so busy running in multiple directions, meeting endless deadlines, and participating in so many activities, that even our thought races.
Peace of mind is forgotten.
A serene internal environment is lost. Remember, pressure is contagious. But so is ease. You may wish to place yourself around people who are easy going, relaxed and peaceful. Watch them and learn from them how they function.
