Faster Isn't Always Better

In this modern day and age, it seems like people just keep going faster and faster. Multitasking in our society is looked at as a good thing, and the better you are at multitasking the more you can get done in one day. Caffeinated drinks are selling like hot cakes, and just in general our pace seems to be quickening at an alarming rate.
I think it's time that we, as a society, take a step back and allow ourselves to  s l o w   d o w n . . . there is nothing wrong with doing nothing. We tend to look at relaxing and allowing our bodies to rest as laziness, when in actuality a little R&R every now and again does us so much good, not only physically but mentally as well.
I understand that many people have busy lives and grueling jobs, or maybe you're attending school and have hours of homework to get done every night. But I urge everyone to just try and do things with a little more calmness; you don't need to be checking email while you're sipping a coffee and studying for an exam all at the same time. Maybe just take 5 or 10 minutes out of your day to enjoy that latte without having any other distractions detracting from the experience. I think that many people would highly benefit from this, and slowing down is something that should not be frowned upon but embraced. Let me know what your thoughts are on this topic!
