Although the hustle mentality can produce great results in the products we produce, it can also have counter affects to our mental well-being. Affecting our value system, self esteem, and growth in other areas. It’s raining this morning in Texas and Texas drivers have a tendency to slow everyone down in different weather conditions. When it rains here, I feel more in a rush— to get to my destination and get OUT of the rain. But why?? Why not slow down and enjoy the rain. What’s the rush?
Food for thought: Take time in the last two days of the week and be mindful of your own hustle mentality. Did I rush through that hw assignment, am I watching tv with dinner most days?, am I rushing my shot again. And for what? Slowing down keeps our nervous system regulated. Gives our body and brain time to catch up with our thoughts and actions. Slowing down allows us to enjoy the rain, dinner, our shot.
What can you slow down with this week?
