What if you could pick yourself up like a chess piece and transport to a part of a world that lives a little slower: like watch the world go by your front porch for a while. As in lie in a hammock after a hard day’s work knowing that you’ve done enough. We’re talking sitting down with your friends for a few hours of idle chat and sharing rather than maybe just a few quick minutes. What if you could immediately get that perspective on your own pace of life and how it might be affecting you on every level of your life: physically, mentally, spiritually?
After a break that offered me some much needed rhythm adjustment, I’m looking for ways to hold onto the mellow that is so healing to me. I feel like when the time factor is taken out, I’m able to reflect on slowness not just as a concept but as a part of who I am. My body relaxes.
Must we live so fast? What is my rhythm?
Are there some things that can silently drop off the to do list?
How about one thing at a time today?
What are some meaningful ways to shift the flow for a while just to see how it feels?
