It's been a while since I've written my usual novel in the caption, so here I go.. the diary of a post-workaholic: In the last few years, I have reached more of my goals by slowing down than I ever did by working constantly. I am a FIRM believer that in order to manifest or to use my intuition, I have to slow down. Let me be honest. I used to find all my value in how busy I was or how much I was doing. I used to think it was cool to be so busy that I didn't have time for lunch. I used to judge people who slowed down, only because subconsciously, I wanted to so bad but I also had big dreams and I was confused how to reach them. Staying fast is a great way to waste time and energy. Doing many things is a great way to not get any one thing done successfully. Of course, there's a balance, and I have to also be willing to work hard. But taking that rest is a non-negotiable. The intuition is there to be heard, which requires connection to self, which requires slowing down. Do less, grow more, and then go after what is authentically meant for you and it will come with more ease. I've experienced this first hand and I've felt the benefits. Trust me, I know that I have a lot on my plate and everyone's benchmark is different. I know I am and/or may look busier than the average human and I know social media can make my life look even faster than it is. But remember, social media is my job. There are countless days I don't show on here where I am connecting to nature, sitting with myself, and doing NOTHING. I've really come to prioritize my downtime and just because I'm not doing something, does not make me available. I'm "busy," doing nothing. I am no longer glorifying neglecting my human needs. In fact, it's such a turn off to me these days. I am celebrating REAL self-care because I've seen where it's gotten me. I've come leaps and bounds but I want to slow even more because I've seen how it's helped me reach my goals and more importantly, become healthier and happier. In our society, it is a challenge to be and not do. So, this serves as a reminder to myself. More is not more, less is more. I hope you rest ❤️
