The Truth About Why Slowing Down Feels Hard & How to Do It (in 4 Simple Ways)


Listen Later

Slowing down sounds like the answer, but for many people it feels uncomfortable, restless, or even unsafe. That does not mean something is wrong with you. It often means your nervous system learned safety through doing, producing, or staying busy.

In this episode, I explore why slowing down can feel so challenging, how worth becomes tied to productivity, and why rest often brings up more discomfort before it brings relief.

I also share four practical ways to slow down safely, without forcing stillness or adding pressure. These approaches help your nervous system experience calm gradually and realistically, especially if rest has never felt easy for you.

This episode is an invitation to rethink what slowing down actually means and to find a pace that supports your body rather than works against it.
