@amiablePeace77
I definitely think that sometimes people need to slow down and take a break, we are all so busy in our lives. I think that sometimes stopping and doing some things for ourselves, like self-care, can help us to feel better and appreciate life
@MidnightRaven999
I like that idea of adopting a Zen attitude 
@MidnightRaven999 Yes, I agree with you!
@amiablePeace77 I do think people are always in a rush... One thing we can do to help... Maybe put down our phones for a little bit and focus on the world that is around us!
@lavenderpeach1107
I agree, it's such a shame in my opinion to see people walking along the beach or even in parks having the cellphone "glued" to their ears instead of connecting to mother nature.
Yes many are always in a rush. Maybe we could just sit down and enjoy the surroundings to appreciate it more
@AddictedTealover98 That sounds like a great idea!
@AddictedTealover98
Nice teal. Sometimes I just sit and watch the doves, blackbirds and lizzards sharing some oatmeal which I give them occasionally. It's wonderful to see how they interact with each other. I hope in far future kids will still be able to do that instead of just focussing on video games.
Do you think people nowadays are in too much of a rush and what do you think needs to change?
I think we have too much technology and it is hurting us. We are in a rush to wok a rush to eat, rush rush rush.
What I think needs to happen is we all take a chill pill and just rest, slow our roll down and take a break from life. Just one day would make a great difference
@scarletPear1945
I think so too, just one day would already show how beautiful live can be without focussing constantly on social media, video games, televisions as example.
Maybe the prescription of the miracle pill mindfulness should be compulsory 
@amiablePeace77
Well said, How can you expedite that prescription?
@scarletPear1945
Good question indeed. I think the more we practise to show up for the present moment the faster it will be
@amiablePeace77
Let it begin with me
@scarletPear1945
Nice thought. If I want to change something I have to start with me, good reminder, thanks
@amiablePeace77 Yes, i think that people nowadays are in too much rush. People need to know that they needn't everything they are wishing/wanting to have. People, for example, needn't 5 hobbies after 2 stressfull jobs which make them even more stressed as they are in constant time rush due to it. Yes, nowadays media portrays need for fun, need for having everything market (or non market services) can sell them, but no one tells them that there is huge difference between need and wish/want. What media portrays as a need is in 99,99 % only wish/want as people in reality don't need stuff portrayed there. Because people want to get all these stuff they also work more to earn more and more money with which they will be able to buy it or to repay the debt which arose due to buying all the goods and services they don't need in reality but they only wanted to get it in order to be "in" or because they were convicted by media that they absolutelly need it (but in reality they don't need it). Without something you need you can die, but without something what you only wish/want you won't die but your life can be less rushy because you save time and money for something what you need more than previously mentioned thing.
@gentleSun78
I like the way you see it. I often wonder when going shopping or listening to adverts (if I have to )"Why do we need all that stuff", it does not make sense to me. The industry frantically tries to create needs for us so they can make profits. It is particularly dangerous for young people who start believing that having certain things is a must to belong to a group.
I guess right now I have the mindset of more work done = better self and can provide better for family with $. I can understand that taking a chill day is beneficial...but at the moment, being unemployed and with time to do stuff, and self care...it just gets painfully boring. I NEED to feel like I belong...in a company that supports me and where I can be given purpose. If I just chill out, alone, I can't help but feel purpose-less.
My days consisted with me walking around a new area, going to mall in Hudson Yards...but I can't help but feel painfully alone as ally friends are working. I also lose sense of time these days because I don't feel any urgency...just blankness...which then causes me to feel angry at myself. Nothing I do is ok! I just can't change my mindset easily.
@Skyy0
When I stopped working I felt the same, bored, no belonging, no purpose and it did not do me well. We need balance, something to focus on but also time to relax. Too much work, rushing around is not good neither is too much time on your hands without knowing what to do. Coming here as volunteer has changed everything for me to the positive. Have you considered doing some sort of volunteer work to get your mind busy and connect to others?
Hope you will find work soon again 🤞
I am in a rush to answer this question and then get out to the market!
@indigoCup1959 Have a great time at the market!
@lavenderpeach1107
I sort of did but then I was in a rush to get to my refugee family with my discarded grape leaves and excess broad beans because then I was in a rush to get back here for the garden and the poor plants which were drooping from lack of water! Way to go! Double entendre meant there.
@lavenderpeach1107
And the cherries have started. oh la la! but I had better eat them fast before they go bad.
@amiablePeace77 yes I think people need to stop and smell the roses.
@soulsings I agree with you!
@soulsings
I agree as well! Smell the roses as long as you still can.
@amiablePeace77 I agree with you too!
