Wise words....we need to slow down...

Many of us suffer from toxic busyness, living frantic, hurried lives that keep our nervous systems in a constant state of survival mode.

To heal, we need to slow down. But you don’t need to grind to a halt to show your nervous system that you’re safe. Slowing down might mean waking up 15 minutes earlier to start your day without rushing, resisting the urge to scroll on your phone before bed, slowing down your walking pace, or focusing on one task at a time instead of aggressively multi-tasking.

We resist a slower pace because we feel we don’t have the time or we think we don’t deserve it. Sometimes, we become addicted to our own adrenaline and fear the discomfort of slowing down.

In fact, we can become so accustomed to being in a permanent state of fight-or-flight that a gentle pace feels dangerous.

Creating capacity in our nervous system for a slower pace will help us walk away from toxic busyness and reclaim inner calm.
