Slow down

When was the last time you got to slow down? When was the last time you were not in a rush to get things done? The power of slowing down is beyond words. When you slow down, you get to see yourself and hear your voice.

Urgency culture is poison. It takes away your soul little by little, starting from the first urgent work email you receive at 8 a.m. in the morning, followed by hundreds of instant messages throughout the day. Dropping off and picking up kids, getting groceries, making dinners, and doing house chores. By the time you get to take a breath, it’s 10 p.m., and you’re exhausted.

A little less self-blaming when you can’t finish all the things you want to do. A little more awareness to put aside everything and prioritize yourself. Take a walk, read a book, sit on the couch, and stare at the ceiling. Slowing down is a way to love yourself. Stay well, my friends. :)
