b'Episode Summary: \\xa0This is Rambles & Doodles, the research and development podcast about reflection, journaling, and self discovery. This week Melinda explores our relationship to urgency and what it takes to slow down. This week: \\xa0Melinda\\u2019s computer threw her into urgency with a low storage notification and leading to the deletion of this week\\u2019s episode. It was deleted and gone. Melinda chose not to panic - she told a friend and honestly shared her disappointment with others. Through meditation, she acknowledged that urgency led to losing this podcast. Where do we learn Urgency? Melinda comes from a family of rush, of both familial and cultural urgency. Society has an attachment to doing things quickly. Hourly wages are built on time, rather than quality. In school, if you don\\u2019t learn on the schedule you miss out on the learning. Because of this we don\\u2019t learn at our own pace. We have built an internal reward system based on urgency. But when the time belongs to us, how can we pay attention to ourselves? Pleasure & Joy: Urgency is a response, it\\u2019s the need to move fast. It comes from external pressures. Melinda is in a place of still trying to understand what is joy and what is pleasure for her, she hasn\\u2019t fully arrived. The way urgency lives within her, she is seeking is how what she wants and looks for can be slowly sought.\\nJournal Prompt:Time for a doodle!
