The Joyous Living Journal entry for yesterday was titled
Hurry, Busy, Rush, but I didn’t actually see it until today because I was too
busy. Ha! And that was right action, because it caused me to stop and think
about that.
Mario Cart video game. It’s almost comical when I think about it. People jump
out of no where. Construction crews set up cones and funnel traffic for seemingly never-ending construction (have you driven Vista Hermosa lately??). Drivers blow through stop signs and red lights. And, while

my ability, I keep thinking to myself, “Hurry, hurry, we are going to be
late!!”
are thinking the same thing. “Hurry, hurry, I’m going to be late…for
school, for work, for a meeting, etc.” And because we all believe, or at

affirmation:
eternity in God.
Melissa Echelberger):
changed my thinking? Instead of “Hurry, hurry, we’re going to be late!”,
I might try:
time.
Okay San Clemente…If
you find yourself on the road between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. on a week day
morning, let’s all try “Relax. Be present. I always arrive at the perfect
right time.” Followed by a deep satisfying breath.
We can do this! We can change our morning experience from
one of rushing and anxiety to one of peace, generosity and gracious driving.
I will report back any changes I notice and I encourage you
to add your experience with this new affirmation in the comments.
