Lately, I have been examining my {nearly default} state of feeling like I’m in a hurry. This feels like a learned pattern/habit from times when it felt appropriate …or even desirable to always be in a hurry. Possibly, I had a subconscious belief that my worth was connected to my level of productivity… or something like that.
I even walked fast. In fact, I was once a race walker. And proud of it!
I have incorporated a mantra, (that I’m thankfully remembering more often) that all is in divine timing. When I’m particularly anxious, I sometimes find myself chanting, “I have the perfect amount of time.”So far, it has always been true. Even when it wasn’t! How’s THAT for learning acceptance!?!
Nowadays, you might even find me calmly “meandering” along a beautiful path…. and happily NOT in a hurry. Once upon a time, I never would have guessed ‘slowing down’ would actually equate to progress.✨
“If you want to walk fast, walk fast. But, if you want to walk further, walk slower.”
