As an entrepreneur and creatively inspired being, slowing down feels like a threat to action – the one thing I’ve grown to depend on. Which is why it has been difficult for me to reconcile that slowing down is the vehicle that moves me towards the things I want in life at the most accelerated rate.

Slowing down has allowed me to be more intentional with my actions, creating a focus that is direct and on purpose. It has allowed me to take a step back to see the bigger picture, and helps me identify and remove things that are not beneficial for my life.

If you feel overwhelmed, uninspired, unmotivated, or want to move towards an unknown “more” in your life, ironically enough, slowing down may be the vehicle that helps get you there at the most accelerated rate.
