I get vulnerable here with talking about how my identity has been, and still is, wrapped up in me doing CrossFit, and how "slowing down" doesn't actually mean stopping or being any less productive.

What does slowing down mean to you? What comes to mind when I say that; being lazy? stopping? These things may pop into your head but they're not necessarily true.

Slowing down means truly listening to your body, respecting what it can achieve in the moment, asking what you need and meeting yourself where you are. Slowing down is productive, it's not a pause button on your progress, it's a pause on the unnecessary pressure you're putting yourself under.

Let's press the slow down button and see how much better our productiveness gets.
