Being aware, present and mindful
Recently, I've been contemplating how to slow my pace of thought so I don't rush through everything. I've been working on some mantras/affirmations to remind myself to be calm and open.
I am here.
I am now.
I am present.
The past has been
Future yet to be seen
I search for presence in me
I am light
I am love
I am one
(If you feel like adding anything or sharing your thoughts I'd love to hear them)

I live happily
I am the one who must think good of others
I wont talk bad or gossiping about others
How good or bad they are, it's doesn't matter.
I am learning
I am not fussy neither choosy.
Always greet anyone who come and never ignore if people say hi or ask something.

You really don't need a mantra. You can just pause. Literally. You are going for a walk and out of no where just freeze yourself for about a minute or two. You are in the middle of eating or cleaning just stop, pretend you're frozen. Try not to plan when you stop, just do it suddenly. |

Thank you Shen.Y and Deepsoul :)
ocean breeze - that's something to think about.... I think most of this rushing comes from absentmindedness, which is why I felt words with strong meaning would be useful to ground me. But I haven't tried this method you've suggested so I will do my best to remind myself :)

This brings to mind the book "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass...I think I still have it though I haven't re-read it in like 20 years....I think I'll go blow the dust off it, LoL.
Nice post and insightful replies!

I thought about writing an expanded version of sorts;
My heart is open,
my voice soft and still
I pause and wait
I have strong will.
My mind soars, slow
Thoughts come with ease.
Calm, natural pace
I am glad - I am pleased.
I wait and I see
I watch and I wait
Enlightenment in observation
Abandon fear of 'late'
I am at peace
I can overcome
My heart, strong and slow
Mind and soul are one.
