A study in 32 cities has concluded that we are walking faster than a decade ago. This might be the reflection of technology in our lives, such as the internet or mobile phones which turn us more impatient and likely to cram increasingly more activities into a day.
The speed we are walking is also the mirror of what we feel and the pace of our lives. We feel more stressed, more agitated, more demanding. Answer these questions:
Slow down?
* Do you seem to glance at your watch more than others?
*When someone takes too long to get to the point, do you want to hurry them along?
*Are you often first to finish at mealtimes?
*When walking along a street, do you feel frustrated because you are stuck behind others?
*Would you become irritable if you sat for an hour with nothing to do?
*Do you walk out of restaurants or shops if you encounter a short queue?
*If you are caught in slow-moving traffic, do you seem to get more annoyed than other drivers?
Five or more “yes” responses mean you should take your foot off the accelerator.
I will slow down! I definitely get frustrated at a slow pace, I'm too accelerated!
