Speed doesn’t matter if you’re going in the wrong direction.
I spent so many years of my life afraid of stillness. I wanted to rush, I wanted to climb, I wanted to hit milestones early. Engaged young, trying to climb the corporate latter. I thought I wanted it all. And maybe that’s the east coast mentality in me, but slowness always felt boring, and in some cases it annoyed the living s**t out of me.
(Going to college in LA was rough 😅)
But over time I realized it wasn’t that I thought faster was better, it’s that I was afraid of slowing down. I was afraid of what would happen if I wasn’t aggressively going after a goal. Whether that was in my career, my relationships, or even my health.
So when I moved out to Vegas a few years ago, I thought it was going to be all about big career moves. But the pace out there was different, it forced me to slow down, take a good look at the industry and realize this was not the direction I wanted to take my life in. I’d been miserable for months, and at some point had to accept that I no longer wanted to be miserable. So I quit. No plan, nothing lined up.
It was a decision I’d gone back and forth on for months. But during that time I began healing somatically and built the nervous system of the versions of me who trusted myself fully. Who trusted my voice. Who trusted my decisions. Who knew everything was going to work out. And it has 🥰
Speed doesn’t always equate to efficiency. Sometimes the “quickest” way to accelerate your life is to slow down and trust yourself. 💕✨
