Will people think I'm lazy if I slow down?

Edward Hallowell (Psychiatrist, Author) gives expert video advice on: Is busy-ness a coping mechanism?; Will I go through withdrawal if I slow down?; What are three ways to quiet my mind? and more...

People will not think you're lazy. People will admire you, and they'll take a lesson. And they'll try to do the same. We all need to help each other to slow down, so they won't think you're lazy. They won't think you're a goal breaker. You might, because your big old conscious there is slogging you, "Oh no, no, no." So you've got to tell that to shut up too. You've got to tell your inner voice that's saying be busy, busy, busy, to shut up. And believe me, others will value, "Oh, great! It's nice to see you! You're not running out the door." And you'll start saying, "Oh, gee. What I've been missing in my life." You'll start living life to the fullest instead of missing out on most of the good stuff.
