Urgent vs Important

We had a full house this morning in our Mindful Living Moments Group Session—love you, ladies!

Today’s #yutori practice focused on the powerful concept of urgent versus important. So often, we’re caught up in the urgency of daily life, rushing from one task to the next, feeling pulled in every direction. But urgency doesn’t always align with what truly matters.

Through the practice of slowing down, we give ourselves permission to pause and reflect, creating space for what’s important—the things that nourish our soul and align with our deeper purpose. When we step away from the noise of urgency, we can reconnect with ourselves, gain clarity, and prioritize what truly belongs in our lives.

Slowing down isn’t just a pause—it’s a path back to what’s essential.

Thank you for this information. It is spot on. I feel in some cases an urgent matter is left over pieces of what was once important but left unattended to.

● About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear. We get one go at this precious journey, so let’s make it something deliciously beautiful, savoring each bite along the way. Thanks for stopping by; your presence adds to the warmth of this shared experience.
