Book excerpt: If you're tired of the rat race and want to find ways to slow down your pace, then this book is for you! Pushing the Pause Button on Your Life is all about learning the value and art of recess. No one will disagree that modern life can get insanely busy - if we let it. Are we too busy though? How comfortable are we when we don't have anything to distract us? Are we content when we're not accomplishing something, or moving ahead in our goals? Is our sense of worth tied to our busyness? A pause in our hurried routine is often just what we need-even what the doctor ordered. Perhaps we could set aside five minutes of 'thinking time' a day. Some people might just 'be' while others may choose to meditate or pray. We might also do well to engage in a solitary activity from time to time. Do not miss the truly important parts of life by being too preoccupied and busy.Slow down! Resolve today to: Take time to smell the roses Listen to the voice of nature as she sings Lay back in your hammock and listen to some inspiring melody Absorb the beauty of a sunrise or sunset Spend some time visiting with family and/or friendsRemember, you only pass this way once. Why not make the journey as pleasant as possible?
