In today's world of Zoom Zoom with the internet and smart phones and texting and high speed connectivity in hot spots and motel lobbies it seems like EVERYTHING is rush rush with 24 hour TV news channels and demanding clients and family ALWAYS in touch across the country. But conversely think about
The Power Of Slow.
I don't mean that Bahamas vacation necessarily you have been meaning to take. Just little breaks in your day to gather your thoughts and plan carefully next steps. Don't jump in your vehicle and tear out of the parking lot. PAUSE. Think carefully about what you did and where you are going.
Craft 30 minute breaks in coffee shops to handle some administrative stuff on your laptop or smartphone and return a few emails. Maybe brighten someone ELSE'S day with a FUN happy email to them with some kind of warmth or passing on a smile. The email or text might arrive in the InBox or on their phone right when they are stressing out for the day and your smile MAKES their day. Do you know the turtle or tortoise is one of the longest living creatures on earth with their SLOW metabolism? The Redwood trees growing slowly last for centuries. There is SOMETHING to this slowness. Don't knock it.
