ARE YOU STRESSED?

Are you so busy getting to the future that the present is reduced to a means of getting there? Stress is caused by being "here" but wanting to be "there", or being present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart. To create and live with such an inner split is insane. The fact that everyone else is doing it doesn't make it less insane. If you have to, you can move fast, work fast, or even run, without projecting yourself into the future and without resisting the present. As you move, work, run - do it totally. Enjoy the flow of energy, the high energy of that moment. Now you are no longer stressed, no longer splitting yourself in two. Just moving, running, working - and enjoying it.
