This is not to suggest that if you have time urgency, you need counseling.
This is not to suggest that if you have time urgency, you need counseling. What should you do, then? Be objective about your life
Time urgency causes us to lose objectivity about our lives. Moms and dads who are running themselves ragged taking children to soccer games, piano lessons and gymnastics practice can easily lose sight of their values. Stop and determine why you are doing what you are doing and what steps you need to take to reach your goals.
Set priorities
Drop the idea that everything must get done. Choose a small number of things to do, from accomplishing specific on-the-job tasks to more broadscale goals such as nurturing relationships with your spouse and children. Having set those priorities, act decisively in pursuing them.

Seek oneness.
Most of us have experienced a magical moment in which everything seemed perfect. You may have had that moment while praying to your creator, or when filling your lungs with fresh air while looking at rolling hills carpeted in a forest of green pine. You may have felt it while holding a sleeping newborn, or when you yourself were held in a warm embrace by someone who loves you. You may have felt it when listening to music, creating a work of art, laboring on a project your truly believe in or finishing your morning run. These are moments of oneness with creation, times when every cell in your body resonates with a sense of rightness, when every fiber of your being says life is good. These moments restore us spiritually and recharge us emotionally. They also do wonders for us physically, reinvigorating and replenishing our immune system and making us feel more vital and alive. From such moments, we leave with our spirits refreshed, and ... move back into the traffic of our daily rounds with the peace of the Eternal in our step, said theologian Howard Thurman. In this century, weve seen our life spans almost double, from an average life expectancy of 49 years for someone born in 1900 to about 80 years for someone born this year. But with twice as much life to live, were living it a pace considerably greater than twice as fast. Those who came before us had an ability to savor life. For the sake of our health, we need to learn to do the same.
