Ep 10 - Deliberately walk slowly

What this episode is about

This episode comes out at Christmas/New Year. A time when everyone rushes around everywhere trying to handle and deal with all the things they believe they need to. Usually, those same people end up exhausted. Today, Rob discusses this modern dilemma and suggests a practical way of reducing our pace and stress, and increasing our calm and sense of control.

Listen

Key points

  • Modern life can easily take over your sense of being in control and therefore, your peace of mind.

  • Speed, pace, and busyness actually minimise your brain’s ability to think clearly and creatively.

  • Busyness and speed increase your stress, and reduce your clarity and enjoyment of the moment.

  • That affects relationships.

  • Physically adopting methods that we normally associate with calm and control can help us radically reduce these problems.

From this Episode

“When you rush, (because of the way your brain works) you don’t access your best thinking.”
