“Slow down.” I saw this phrase on a kombucha cap, a card somewhere, a song— this has been everywhere, lately.
In a highly caffeinated world (where we run with cups of caffeine instead of sitting with them), we are reminded to slow down. When we slow down, we have more time to connect with our body (when you work out, do you feel the mind-body connection?), the person next to us (I hear podcasts and coaching calls where some issues could be easily resolved, through vulnerable connection), and God (He tells us to be still and know who He is). We get to release that which causes us stress (I keep reading about how critical it is to get our stress levels under control for health). Slowing down helps us be more present.
Today, wherever you go and whatever you do, take your time. Do it slow. Despacito.
