“The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one’s influence wide is to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it.”
― Marianne Williamson, The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for a Radically New Life

I saw my psychologist this morning and she gave me similar advice. Thanks so much for this, Diana. It is mostly my thinking that is so rushed and frantic and worried and horribly stressed, so this is very timely for me!
