Slow is Sexy

You're likely familiar with the phrase: Slow down to speed up.
It doesn't make sense to our logical mind. That part of us thinks more, faster, better is the way.
Yet, when we are in the programming of urgency, we miss valuable information that's right in front of our faces.
We don't see the:
body language of the person across from us and how to take the conversation deeper.
subtext of someone asking for help without using those words.
opportunity for a new friendship, partnership or business collaboration.
success we already have.
beauty and enoughness of our current life.
We miss so much when we are in hustle mode. We end up buying into the idea that we're doing life on our own.
What we miss out on most is Life's Grace, Inspiration, and Guidance.
This is why 'SLOW IS SEXY.'
By being present you take in the Wisdom of your body, heart and mind. You become a vessel for receiving where Creativity can play and bring you insight and inspiration.
When you're in this state you more easily see the guidance and apply it. This can 10x your results because you embrace your partnership with Life.
Our mind doesn't like the practice of being present. It likes to be anywhere but here because this is the only way the ego can play. Remember, the ego lives in past and future. It doesn't exist in the present. So, the more you intentionally train yourself to be here now, the better your work and life will be.
Every morning I set an intention to be slowed down inside throughout my day. My calendar may be full and my external demands may be high—and I can still be slowed down inside with each one.
The days I live into this more fully are the days I experience more Grace and Magic.
Don't take my word for it. Test it out for yourself.
You may just find your next person to serve is right in front of your nose!
With loving,
Amber
