Meetings. Deadlines. School. Schedules. Work. Appointments. Events. Errands. Stress.

In today's times, all of the words listed above along with so many more seem to have a connection to us in more ways than one, and I am here to tell you, the relation is not always a positive one.

More and more today, we see high-strung individuals frantically checking for phone calls, missed texts, or appointment reminders, and we see less of a genuine interest in the common things in life.Think about it; when was the last time you sat down on the couch without your phone or planner and with-- not a bowl, but a whole tub of your favorite ice cream? When was the last time you went outside to enjoy the sun without the stress of an impending deadline forming clouds over your head? Chances are that if you're anything like me, you genuinely cannot remember.

Many times people feel as if pushing their schedules to the limits lets them become a better human being. We will be seen as the "go-getter," or the one who is always working some form of a miracle. But in reality, the go-getters can sometimes be the unhappiest of people, they lack the little light found in regular-people life, like an alarm clock set for after seven o'clock in the morning, or even a basic social life, or a non-social, but completely blissful relationship with Netflix.

I have adopted a new philosophy for looking at the things in my world, and it makes the present a less stressful and much better place to be. When a situation presents itself to me, I step back and think, what can I do tomorrow?

Tomorrow is the best kind of day because it makes me a better person today. The things that cannot wait are prioritized and completed, leaving more "me time" for the present. It is so important for this special time with no agenda because it gives us the time to de-stress and really focus on what is important and priority in life. Not having a page long list twenty-four days a week, seven hours a day does not make me lazy or unmotivated, but it does allow me to cut back on unnecessary burdens, and truly be happy with what I can do with a day.

So go ahead, push whatever it is that's giving you grief until tomorrow. Take it from me, you'll be glad you did. In the meantime, make time to eat to your hearts content, catch up on that whole season of "The Bachelor" you're too busy to watch, or go to bed at four o'clock in the afternoon. Enjoy and savor your new found free time, and just wait for tomorrow to come.
