Speed / Pace / Time & Breath
I work fast. So fast, so well, so effortlessly. But only SOMETIMES. Those times I am in what I (and others) call: THE ZONE.
One trick about FAST TIME is you have to balance it with SLOW TIME. You just can't move fast all of the time. And so many people ask me how I get done all that I get done. The trick is the balance with SLOW TIME. Productive fast time is only as good as your slow time...

Want to learn to practice some slow time? Here are a two simple starting steps:
STEP ONE: Notice what you are doing. While you are eating are you eating only? Or are you multitasking? If you are multitasking, that's fine, we are not judging, just noticing. When you are in the shower, are you cleaning your body or are you also reviewing some conversation you had earlier?
STEP TWO: Begin to practice some single tasking. Do ONE thing at a time and allow your body and mind to change rhythms. Today when I wrote this post, I closed all other computer windows, turned off my phone, and just. simply. wrote.
What will you do to single task today? Even for a moment, it counts. Practice slow time and feel the change of pace.
