Lost in the Rush? Slow Down and Find Magic in the Present Moment

I’ve been doing more things that make me go slow.

There is magic in slowing down, there is power in taking your time.

Slowing down means being more present, in the moment, noticing everything around me the smiles the bits of conversations, the wind, and the rain.

Lately, it’s been rainy and I sat in my car, I felt stuck for a moment because the rain was coming down so hard there was nothing more to do but to other the time pass, watch the rain and wait for the water to calm.

The stoplights, the stop signs, the traffic, the untied laces, the page that won’t load, the wait at the restaurant, the days and hours until the weekend. I dare you to change your perspective on the mundane things that you feel frustration around.

Perspective, the thing that can turn sour, sweet.

We think we do not get what we want, when we do, in a twisted way.

We get what we need, to get what we want.

I wanted patience, so I was forced to go slow.

And its easy to wish and dream but when you’re in the space between now and where you want to be, we question our desires.

It all comes down to a choice. Choosing to change your attitude, change your perspective.

My body, the world around me reminds me that I don’t need to rush.

Going slower lets you be more precise and more intentional.

In the rush of things it’s easier to get lost, it’s easier to forget who you are and why you do the things you do.

Sometimes we don’t want to slow down because slowing down means feeling, letting yourself feel all the things we like to ignore.

Your life is waiting to be lived.

Sometimes going slower gets you where your heart wants to go faster.

Slow down you’re doing fine.
