EPISODE 9

Making the interior journey and living from the inside-out requires us to learn a new way of being and acting. The process of learning to live from the inside-out consist of deep soul work that cannot be done while we are living at the typical “warp speed” of our modern lives.

In this episode I explain how “slow is fast, and fast is slow” when it comes to living the interior life and offer some practical suggestions on how to create your own Slowing Down Routine when you need to exit the expressway and enter a more contemplative space for inner life work.

REFLECTION PROMPT
Listen.
- As you listened to today’s episode, what struck you?
- What emotions or thoughts came up in response as you listened?

Ponder.
- What signs might there be in your life that are telling you that you have been moving too fast and that you need to slow down?

Act.
- Create your own Slowing Down Routine if you don’t have one yet.
- Set aside some time and make a date with yourself. Solitude is important for this routine because it is your inner self that you need to reconnect with.
- Decide on a venue and a simple activity. Pick a place where you will not be disturbed and where the environment is reasonably quiet and conducive for calming you down.
- Choose an activity that you enjoy and does not require you to multi-task, perform or achieve.
- If you already have a routine you love for slowing down, then find some time in the weeks ahead to enjoy it!
