We have this idea that busy is the new norm. We fill our calendars with side-hustles, activities and social gatherings. Rushing from one project to the next. Suddenly, you realise that your cup is overfilled and you’re left exhausted.
Give yourself permission to slow down. Treat your time with respect and enjoy the present moment. It’s okay to be alone, go for a silent walk and give yourself the mental space. Stop multitasking and give your all to that one activity (especially listening to your loved ones). Learn to have fun again and have a hobby that isn’t linked to a goal. Remember, life isn’t a competition so don’t treat it like one.
I recently trashed the idea that I needed to read as many books as possible in a year. Now, I read when I feel like it and I’ve enjoyed it a lot more.
Would love to hear stories about the last time you “slowed” down.
