Have you ever asked yourself why you’re always stressed and in a hurry? A questioner says his habit of hurrying results in a busy mind and bodily tension. This makes it difficult for him to abide as awareness. What causes this stressful behaviour and what can he do to get back to equanimity?
Rupert says - it is because, when you're hurrying the larger part of your attention is focused on the end result. You are escaping the now in favour of the future. Why is this? Because the separate self has to resist the now in order to survive, so it is always taking you away from it.
So, the remedy is not discipline yourself or change your behaviour - just be knowingly the presence of awareness without resistance to this moment. You, awareness, surrender these sensations to the space of awareness without trying to get rid of them or improve them. Slowly the tension will dissolve and the sensations will go back to their natural condition of equanimity and harmony because you are no longer supporting this dynamic drive towards the future.
Your mind, and in time, your behaviour will begin to follow suit.
