Episode 450: Why Am I Always Rushing

Do you ever feel like life is one big race—and you’re not sure who signed you up for it?  On this lively episode, Rebecca and Seth Greene pull back the curtain on why so many of us are always rushing around (spoiler: it’s not just you, and it’s not just moms!). They share real-life stories, relatable struggles, and hard-earned wisdom for anyone desperate to slow down, set better boundaries, and actually enjoy the ride—even if the weeds in your backyard are winning. 5 Key Takeaways: ➔ Notice your triggers: Identify what sets off your rushing—morning chaos, deadlines, or your own high expectations. ➔ Set boundaries and say no: You can’t do it all. Get comfortable with setting limits, even if your calendar protests. ➔ Anchor yourself with mindful breaks: Use simple pauses like breathing at red lights, enjoying lunch, or clarity breaks to slow your pace. ➔ Focus on one thing at a time: Multitasking may feel productive, but single-tasking leads to less stress and better results. ➔ Shift your time mindset: Remind yourself you have enough time for what matters. The kitchen doesn’t need to be spotless every night, and the world won’t end if your to-do list rolls over to tomorrow.
