Are you always going in fast mode? If your accelerator is stuck, then you are probably, maybe without realizing it, stuck in stress mode.
If you are always in a hurry and never seem to have enough time, if you're always running through airports or always late for appointments, you probably need to think about slowing down just a bit. We live in such a stressful environment sometimes we loose sight of those little pockets of time we could sneak every now and then. This ends up causing us to be stressed much of the time.
If your accelerator is stuck in fast mode, find ways to slow down.
Get up earlier. Leave for appointments a few minutes sooner. If you cook, cook two or three dinners at the same time and freeze them. Put the clothes for tomorrow out the night before. There are a lot of things you can do to slow your life down a bit.
Do you have things you do to keep your accelerator pedal from being stuck?

You know living in New York, if you are not always on you will so get ran over. I mean everything you do is rush rush rush!! however, when i see that i am going just a bit to fast for my taste, I step back, take a deep breath and say slow down! then i get me a cocktail and relax

I tend to be the happiest when I am busy doing something. If I take it too slow I tend to get depressed and out of it.

I understand kellys3ps. But there's something to be said about slowing down a bit, since most of us live our lives stuck in the fast lane. Of course this comes from me, a woman who's lived most of her life in the fast lane. It's high time I slowed down anyway.
