Slow Down.

Slow Mornings

I have been, at times in my life, a productivity whore. Ramming through life trying to show the world how much I can do. I did this because I like to work. I also had a belief ingrained in me that my value and definition as a human being came from how much and what I accomplished. 

I was so very wrong. Over the last nine months I have really slowed down. I have found that with this each moment is more valuable. The time spent with a friend having coffee can seem to last a lifetime and the walk home another three. I don't find the desire to be pushing content at all moments of the day. Instead I like to share when inspiration strikes and something blossoms. This could be twice in one day but sometimes weeks will pass and I will be living in the in between. Grey and muddled days will pass as I dabble here and there. 

I have found richer rewards allowing it to come when it comes and to go when it goes. This notion has allowed me to not hold on too tightly to anything. I hold on until it is time to let go. Freedom. Liberation. An Inhale. An Exhale. 

I urge you to try and slow down. The world wasn't built to consume us like this. We weren't built to consume the world in this way either. We were both designed in perfect harmony. Slow down. 

Keep Living { The Good Life }
