10 minutes can change everything

Ten minutes. That is nothing and it can be everything. What can we tackle in ten minutes? Not so much, I usually think. But I realized that 10 minutes is just enough to change things around us. This can be the difference between rushing or not. Between not finding what we are looking for with clumsy movements, being in a bad mood and late, or becoming calm, happy and enjoying the city at every step.

With several ideas and projects on the table, managing the house and having a 5 years old girl, whose agenda is like that of any child in New York with a wide repertoire of weekly activities and playdates ... Times are definitely short.

I try to squeeze those moments to the fullest so much that I often arrive at the last minute and, of course, running. But from now on, dear friends, I have decided to change my habit and make things easier and nicer. Getting up earlier and arriving everywhere with no hurry has made a difference.

And everything is a matter of attitude. If you start the day with the right foot, with enough time to walk out the door smiling, with a full stomach and everything in place, people open the door and smile at you as you go. And then it's very difficult for things to go wrong, right?
