Rich in What Matters - Opting Out of a Hyper Culture

 
Block 3rd
 
 
 
The prefix “hyper” first graced my ears in graduate school. I was studying to be a speech therapist and medical terminology was an obligatory class.
 
Hyper, I learned, meant above normal. Over. Beyond.
 
The term represented a red flag. Hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperactivity. Add in the prefix “hyper” and an otherwise neutral word suddenly required real attention.
 
Hyper called for a plan to reset. A remedy. Hyper conditions weren't to be taken lightly and were nothing to normalize or leave untreated.
 
Recently, I've observed hyper popping up in novel ways. While it still holds medical clout, hyper is now being used, in an equally significant way, to describe our culture.
 
Hyperliving
 
John Mark Comer, in his book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, penned the word “hyperliving” to describe our culture's pace.
 
His definition of hyperliving? Skimming over the surface of life. To include: hurry, busyness, a pull to do it all, moving through life at a speed that causes us to miss out on the one life we've been given. Moving at an “above normal” pace has become normalized.
