Inez, thank you for your comments. The external pressures, especially in the US context, from society push us to “speed” up–at the cost of being human. I realize more and more that the “perceived” urgency is what encourages institutional oppressions to continue–and, in fact, increase–in relation to other human beings. I too believe that we can be both self aware and focused (I’m trying this on instead of “efficient”). Please continue to share your thoughts!

Nanci, I completely related to this article and the urge to be efficient without realizing the impact we have on others. I often go on “automatic” and although this mode produces results, it’s missing my humaneness. I know that I can accomplish both with self-awareness and create not only an efficient, effective, environment but also a humane one. Thank you for this insight. You are a great teacher.

Hello hermana,I love the way you writte. It shows compassion, love, been “Humilde”, having corage to approach own believes and uderstand your life within a context of been human, woman, sister, professional, etc. etc.
I believe that the self-awarenness been seen as process implies and active self initiative to pause at everymoment of life and reflect the present believes, thougths, emotions, etc. It can be an exhaustive, intensive and tedious process but amaizinly worthed to enjoy life at the present moment
