reasons I can no longer rush, a memoir:

life feels like a love story when I take my time. making a meal becomes an experience. pouring a cup of tea feels orgasmic. slowing down makes pleasure more possible. and life's simple magic and natural beauty become more obvious. more vibrant. rushing makes things blurry. a healthy pace provides clarity and sharpness. when I slow down I can hear God. when I slow down my body has time to heal. rushing feels like flight or fight mode - wearing my body down. when I slow down I can breathe deeply. I can dance to my favorite songs and feel the rhythm elevating my DNA. when I slow down I am able to be aware and intentional. when I take my time I am able to be more present. I'm able to move with grace and make decisions from an empowered place vs. a place of false urgency and desperation. when I slow down I am more in tune with what I feel and what I need. I am more aware and grounded when I'm not rushing.
