The Impatience Epidemic
In our culture of immediate gratification, we want — and expect — everything right now. And it works in reverse, too: others expect us to respond right away; it's an epidemic of impatience.
 
Some are taking a closer look at this epidemic. The "Lost Art of Waiting" was explored on The Early Show Thursday morning, January 20. Psychologist Dr. Jennifer Hartstein and Erica Hill, CBS Early Show co-anchor, discussed how impatience is a form of stress. Hartstein said it's important for people to decompress and disconnect sometimes --- and just wait.
 
"Take a time-out from a stressful situation. Sometimes we can't (do that), but — maybe you can — find a happy place in your brain, take yourself there. You want to ask yourself the question, 'Is it worth it that I'm getting so frustrated?' "
 
"We've lost the art of waiting," she said. Hartstein recommends taking the time to stop and breathe.
 
So experiment with Colors In Motion; take time every day to slow yourself down, and see how it benefits you and the people in your life. This old idea may have faded from our culture for a time, but now it's being recognized as an important part of healthy living.

    Beautiful! I played one of the segments for one of my classes at school after they had gotten all riled doing a dance. Excellent to center them again. - BR
