Chasing Slow

Chasing Slow is about turning away from the fast and the frenzy. It’s about refraining from the race to be “there.” In our lives, we have probably been programmed to go after the following:

·         The big house, car or next big purchase to give us the impression of status and recognition

·         THE relationship – finding the person that will take us away and give us a life of happiness, pleasure and security.

·         And a big one, chasing after the perfect physical look, slimmer body, everlasting youth and larger muscles. 

Yet, we hear it in the news that even the most celebrated individuals succumb to depression and suicide.  When we constantly chase the “dream,” they never really deliver lasting happiness and we end up feeling unsatisfied.  I say choose to shift your priorities and spend your days connecting and caring, not consuming and competing.  After growing up in the household where my grandma saved all the meat foam trays and plastic grocery bags, and mom’s obsession to collect shoes, decors, bags and countless pots & pans, I literally heave and feel overwhelming heavy. For me, I want to be minimalistic. I want less to experience more creativity, calmness and peace.  When you choose to end the race, you too will begin to see that you already have everything you need!  Find contentment by lessening your expectations about people, and turn off the judgments in your head. Tell yourself that you are enough. You are already abundantly blessed!
