S3E9 - The courage to slow down: a solo reflection on finding your pace in a world that won't stop rushing


Listen Later

What if slowing down was not a weakness, but a skill?

In this solo reflection, Ksenia talks about how she went from constantly rushing (and feeling like rest was something she had to “earn”) to slowly learning the courage it takes to pause, breathe, and choose a different pace, even when the world (and her mind) is screaming “go faster.”

She shares:

- Why slowing down often feels so uncomfortable 

- The sneaky guilt that comes with resting or moving slowly

- Moments from her own life when the rush nearly took over

- Gentle, doable ways to start listening to your body and mind and slowing down before burnout forces you to stop

If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to rest or worried that slowing down will make you fall behind, this episode is your reminder: rest is not “wasting time” or being lazy. Slowing down is a skill you can learn and practice, one that will enrich your life and, in the long run, make you more focused and productive.
