During my short experience as and adult, I’ve always been looking for ways to live that help reduce daily stress.
One tip that I recommend people is: ‘Slow down!’
When you’re doing something, do not rush through it… Take your time and do it right. Double or triple check things… so that you don’t have to fix errors later!
Knowing that something is done and over-with takes a large amount of stress off of your shoulders!
…
Last night I skipped my own advice… I was in a slight rush to leave the studio; to meet some friends… I packed up quickly and did a quick clean-up… then took off.
When I arrived at a friend’s house, I reached for my Cell-Phone to check the time and messages… I unclipped it from my pocket, and started pressing buttons.
It took me about 20 seconds to realize that it was not my cell-phone… but the cordless-phone from the studio!
In my rush to get out, I forgot that I had the phone on me!
The moral is… Slow down!
