Running through life makes it easy to skip over the emotional depths that are vital to our wellbeing. It’s like going to a therapist, telling them the three minute synopsis of an emotional trauma and expecting to be miraculously restored with peace. Speeding through relationships is another way to ensure that you’ll never have a really connected relationship with emotional intimacy. It’s all an avoidance of connection, and connection is how we thrive!
Slow down and you’ll be able to see what is in front of you and feel your way through life moment-by-moment. When you stop rushing, you get to experience the moment right now, and if you aren’t thrilled about what you see, in the present with calm and focus, you can far more easily change things.
