Slow Down To Go Faster
Description: The more slowly, deliberately and carefully we do something, the better the outcome. Why? because we are more present. It is this quality of PRESENCE that is at the very core of meditation. Don’t just believe me. Put this into practice.
When and Where: Experiment in every arena of your life. Start with simple activities like doing the dishes, taking out the trash, driving your car. The activity doesn’t matter. What matters is the quality of your presence being mind-full, care-full and deliberate. Notice how it makes you feel. Pay attention to the quality of care
you are giving the activity or the person to whom you are speaking.
Benefits: Over time, as you make this a habit, you find yourself more relaxed, more present, producing higher quality work. All your relationships are enhanced because people know the difference when you are rushing through a conversation and when you are taking your time to make sure they feel heard and understood.
You spend a lot less time on searching for things you have lost and correcting mistakes. The result is more time for relaxation, fun and romance.
