Coasting

If you are in go-go-go mode with the gas pedal stuck in the down position, it isn’t necessary to slam on the break. Instead, try to give your mind enough time to process your experiences, instead of just "having them." Allow your body time to coast.

Otherwise, you may find yourself bouncing back and forth between the go-getters, pulling you toward constant activity by modeling it for you (and making you feel guilty for failure to keep up) and the enablers on the other side, pushing you to keep the engine running at all costs.

Since the important stuff is going on internally, figure out ways to get breathing into your life.
