Finding Balance: The Power of Slowing Down in a Fast-Paced World

To honor that, maybe we need to go way slower than the speed at which a big part of our desires want to go, because there is a lot of tenderness there and because, even though it might feel in the moment like we're denying part of ourselves, it might be that overall, it's what is needed for our self-care or self-love, and even for sustaining this really positive situation or relationship, or whatever it is, that we want to continue.
Ever felt like the mantra 'Life is short, so live it to the fullest' puts more pressure on you than it inspires? In this episode of The Soul's Work Podcast, host Janice Ho takes a step back to question this popular belief. Through heartfelt stories and personal experiences, Janice explores how sometimes, the best way to truly live is by slowing down and being cautious.
From travel dreams to new relationships, she delves into the complexities of making life decisions that are authentic to you, even when they go against the grain. Janice highlights how factors like privilege, challenging life periods, and old patterns can add layers of nuance to our choices. She gently reminds us that living authentically isn't about ticking off a bucket list but finding meaning in our unique journeys.
This episode is a comforting reminder that it's okay to take your time and honor your own pace. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures, this discussion offers a refreshing perspective on self-care and authentic living.
