I have recently realized that rushing is my default and it is so tacky!! I hate it. The worst part for me is realizing that I don't have patience/compassion for those around me. I also dream of a life with no schedules, where I never have to rush! 💗

I hope that you can have compassion for yourself & forgive yourself for the times when you don’t have compassion for other people … we ALL do it and NOTICING is the most powerful thing we can do to shift the pattern. You got this🫶🏾

This quote is fire 🔥 “ I imagine that most of us desire slowness — we crave the spaciousness that allows us to ease with grace through our days.” This post resonates so strongly. I am in my season of enjoying the spaciousness that allows me to move through life with ease and grace! Such a needed message.

You articulated my exact thoughts! I always say when I hurry I run the risk of hurting myself in some shape or form and so I take my time. Also amen to no commitments, especially meetings, before 11am. I believe in that too.

Yes! Hurting myself, spilling something, breaking something… the chaos is not worth it

I feel this perspective deeply. I have spent my life rushing from one thing to another, from one project to another. Rushing to work, rushing home. Rushing my kids. Rushing relationship. Slowing down, pausing is now central to my healing. Thank you for the reinforcement of slowing down. 👏🏻
