There will always be another message in your inbox.

Dear "It" Girl,

There will also be another task to cross off on your to do list, another person to call, another errand to run. On most days, there will also be another day to do all of the above.

Are you living your life as if everything is an emergency that must be completed as soon as possible? Do you feel like once you get through your list you can finally have fun?

Do you have the tendency to wait to enjoy yourself on the vacation you'll never take?

If so, you must slow down and smell those roses. Life is meant to be lived now. Ditch the play clothes. Wear good underwear, eat on fine china, and dare to miss a deadline or two.

You have heard that it's not about getting from Point A to Point B but the journey that really counts, so why are you still racing around trying to be Superwoman? At this pace, you are surely neglecting yourself and your loved ones. How can you ever in be in touch with who you are, what you want, and bring (and keep) love in your life, if you are still worrying about that darn inbox?

 

Love, Rachel Russo, MS, MFT\
