It can be easy to get caught up in the need to keep doing vs settling into being. We can sometimes place value on busy and begin to believe that overwhelm is the new norm, especially during the holiday season. This is exactly why we want to talk about the benefits of slowing down.

From what we have learned, we know that slowing down can...
  1. help us connect on a deeper level with the people we love,
  2. help us make wiser decisions,
  3. help us avoid burnout
  4. help us get grounded, and
  5. help bring more meaning to our day to day experiences.

The Practice of the Week

We start with a quick read for suggestions on “how” we can begin slowing down.

The 10 Essentials for Slowing Down and Enjoying Life More

The Idea of the Week

Today, for a fresh perspective, we have a TedX talk by Jedidiah Jenkins. Jedidiah is the author of To Shake the Sleeping Self, and the more recent, Like Streams to the Ocean

His TedX talk is described as following:
“Why does time speed up as we get older? And how do we slow it back down? We all remember time crawling by as a kid. Summer break felt like an eternity. As we get older, time is somehow exponentially quicker. How common is it to hear an elderly person say ‘it felt like only yesterday that….’or ‘it all goes by so fast.’ There are scientific reasons for this, and there are ways to slow it down and regain your sense of childlike wonder.”
