How can I know if my pace of life is affecting me?
One way is to try to recall during dinner time what were the items you took for lunch? May be it is a good measurement that we are just moving too fast that even eating, we do not know what we ate. Try remembering the individual dishes on the plate and the person you ate with and the topics you talked about.
If really we can hardly recall, we can say even over meals, we are physically there, but our minds are somewhere else, or possibly in the virtual world - meddling with our gadgets or checking in on our emails or Facebook or Twitter updates while feeding in the 'coal' like in the fuel-powered train.
If this is really a non concern, read another blog or blog post. But if it is, then it is time for a bit of self awareness. To take time to slow down, to be lesser productive, to be even late if necessary, to be some say waste a bit of time, to feel my heart beat, to feel my pulse rate, to enjoy every spoon of food taken, to smell the fragrance of the beverage, to remember every item of the items consumed, to enjoy every bite and crunch of the vegetable in the mouth, to reflect on the digestion into your body system, converting to energy for your body.
Consider slowing down our pace of life.
Rejoice.
