It helped that after getting up I did lovely things though, so at least I didn't have to beat myself up about never taking time for myself. It did make me more peaceful.

Get up - no, lay down. Lay down - no, get up." When this starts I just get up and begin my day. Peacefulness can also be in "doing" and I also experience what you say about urgency. I will check out Mike Dooley's website. Thanks for your great blog. Bertie Hello Wilma,
I can so relate to what you wrote:
“Lay down -no, get up.
Get up – no, lay down.
Lay down – no, get up.”

However, I also noticed that a relaxed approach if far more productive than a panicky one. But, a peaceful approach cannot be "manufactured" easily by the mind. My Yoga teacher used to say to us that one arrives into the state of relaxation, one cannot induce it by will. So, it seems like a bit of a "Catch 22" situation. This brings to mind a quote from the "father" of The Tao, Lao Tzu: <blockquote>Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.</blockquote> I can identify with your sense of urgency, Wilma, when I have a lot of things on.
