That's not gonna work, right?
You need to, slowing down is a process, right?
Because basically speed, we are speed addicts.
We are physically, emotionally, chemically addicted to these turbocharged lifestyles.
And no one comes off any kind of addiction in the blink of an eye.
It's always a process of small steps, a couple steps forward, one back.
You're going to feel some withdrawal symptoms.
You're going to feel itchy and uncomfortable.
You're going to want to stop and go back to the speed.
But I always say,
stick with it, take a step here, make a small change there, run little pilot projects.
So for instance, for the next week, you say to yourself, if you're somebody who never turns off their phone, say, every day I'm gonna have one hour when my phone is switched off and it's not even on my person, I'm gonna put it in a box somewhere and I'm just gonna go and do something else with that time for the week, just a week.
At the end of the week, you sit with yourself, have a little debrief and say, well,
What did that feel like?
What happened during that hour?
Did I feel eventually more relaxed?
Did I have an interesting conversation?
Was I able to focus on something a bit better?
Did I feel a bit more energized by the end of the day because I had at least one hour when one of my eyes was not on social media?
And then you start to get a feel for it because it's not enough just to hear someone like me talking about the virtues and charms of slow or watching a TED talk or reading a book or even looking at scientific studies, which will all tell you you need to slow down.
