I love this quote from Thomas Kelly: "We have hints that there is a way of life vastly richer and deeper than all this hurried existence, a life of unhurried serenity and peace and power. If only we could slip over into that center."

Life is busy. Our schedules are hectic. We cram a lot into our 24 hours and sometimes we pay the price. We feel stress, anxiety, overwhelm. It's as if the weight of all that we have on our plate is sitting on our chests and we can't breathe. We're being suffocated by all the demands, to-dos and pressures of life.

In this episode, I am sharing some ideas and helpful tools to shift this way of living to a more unhurried serenity, peaceful and powerful way of living. I find this topic to be so critical no matter who you are or where you're from or even what stage of life you may be in because the pace of our lives has a monumental impact on the depth of our lives. When we fall into the trap that our value comes in all that we do instead of simply all that we are, we wear busy and stress as a badge of honor. 

So this chat is about creating room to breathe and margin in life. It's not about doing more, faster or more efficient. But it is about pushing out the noise and chaos, pushing out what's not necessary, to allow for what's most important to rise to the surface of our hearts and minds.

If you would like to check out a really great book on the subject, read Keri Wyatt Kent's "Breathe: Creating space for God in a hectic life."
