When we’re feeling pressure to rush things along, it is time to sit back and relax. It is important that we pace ourselves to keep from being overwhelmed. We need to be at our best performance if we want to be effective in what we’re doing. When we’re performing at our best, then we are making progress or producing something that we will feel satisfied at the end. Feeling pressure makes it difficult to stay focused. Being unfocused will not help us at all. Relaxing is about taking a break. When we’re taking a break from the pressures, we are renewing ourselves and clearing up our minds.
