Paula he and you are absolutely right. I almost never slow down when my eyes are open. I have been hitting the cafeine lately too and that makes it even much worse for me. I can be very lazy and slug-like but I have to tell myself to do that and get into that mode. Otherwise it is GO, GO, GO and never be still. The other day I tried to lay out in the sun and I did push ups the whole while I was on my belly.
I will make sure to do some thinking on this and figure out a good balance over the next weeks.
