Why Is It So Hard to Slow Down?
Description
This week’s episode of The Five Minute Climb asks a question that so many of us quietly hold:
Why is it so hard to slow down?
Because it is, isn’t it?
Even when our bodies crave rest, our minds race ahead, whispering that we should be doing more, moving faster, proving something. But slowing down isn’t losing momentum; it’s finding direction again.
In this episode, I talk about what makes stillness so uncomfortable, and why rest isn’t the absence of progress; it’s the space where we remember why we’re moving at all.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, guilty for resting, or caught in the noise of “more, more, more”, this one’s for you.
