I joined Assel’s 30-day challenge @assel_happiness)
The idea of challenge is to try something new every day, and then write about my feelings.
So, my task for today is to 2X-slow down my usual speed of doing things. To do everything 2 times slower.
Oh, if you only knew what kind of f… challenge it is for me! But I said to myself: «Whatever I manage today- is enough, even if it is just small things.» Anyway, I always can catch up tomorrow.
By the way, today I’ve recorded a new episode of the Teitelbaum’s book «The Complete Guide to Beating Sugar Addiction». Today I was speaking slower than usual, and this is also not easy).
So, I am reporting from the image of «Natakha-the-Turtle»: daylight is coming to an end. Slowing down is difficult. As if a mad racehorse is trying to dash somewhere, and you tell to this horse: «You are not a Horse, you are a Turtle today.» And the inner Horse says: «Whaaaat?»
Sometimes I forget and slide into the usual «frantic electric broom» mode.
INSIGHTS:
1. Slowly – does not mean «inefficient». It simply means giving your body more time to adequately respond to brain impulses.
2. You are taught what acceptance is, while practicing the slow-mo: accepting my choice to do it exactly as I chose. It is about the acceptance of the natural flow of events.
