Summary
This episode of AWAKENING is all about the remarkable benefits of slowing down and pacing yourself, as well as what prevents you from doing so. Join me for a discussion of:
- how we've become disconnected from a slower rhythm of life (and the consequences of this)
- what drives you to keep rushing, pushing, and trying to be productive at all times
- the key, deeper fears that fuel the dysfunctional behavior of rushing
- the protective mechanism that sometimes prevents you from slowing down if you have frozen trauma in your body or nervous system
- insightful prompts to start exploring your own relationship to time and productivity
