Feeling The Call To Slow Down?

Hey ,

The quote above went mega viral on Instagram, so I want to go a little deeper into what it can practically look like prioritize your happiness and slow down.

Cal Newport dropped the mic when he recently shared that so many of the anti-hustlers preaching “doing less” are doing the MOST to promote their philosophy of doing less. It’s similar to those who are promoting passive income relentlessly, but there’s nothing passive about their promotion.

Now, this is not to 💩 on anyone - I’m ONE of those actively talking about doing less… but it’s to double down on what that REALLY looks like so you’re not blindly following the idea promoted by people doing the absoluteopposite.

But: slowing down is not the absence of intentional, focused work.

Rather, slowing down is about prioritization of what truly matters to you.

When we’re rushed, burned out and focused on so many things at once… nothing actually gets prioritized. You always feel behind, a ball is always dropping and the guilt eats you up from the inside.

I’d tell myself that being present for my baby who has a flu was the priority, but then I’d breakdown over the guilt of dropping so many balls at work. What I actually needed to do was ruthlessly eliminate anything non-essential from my plate and let go of any guilt associated with it.

Or I’ve told myself that growing my podcast is a priority, and creating great content for it is essential… yet, the only time I’d get to record that content was after my work day wrapped and I had space in the calendar. What I should’ve done was built my calendar around THAT goal.

But the issue wasn’t that I just wasn’t willing to do less…

The issue is that, like so many of us…

I was worried about not reaching my full potential.

I was worried that once I slowed down, my momentum would stop.

I was worried that saying no to people would result in being abandoned.

So, my invitation to you is to get REALLY clear on what your actual priorities are…

(and no, I don’t mean your to-do list)

…then build your dream calendar around that.

It’s not the absence of hustle, but actually focused on doing it in a way that supports (not frazzles) your nervous system

BTW: If you’re looking for some extra hands-on support with this, I have a 90 minute training inside our Membership breaking down how to define WHAT your dream day-to-day would look like, and how to regulate your nervous system to actually slow down and achieve it. That link will take you directly there, so if you’re not a member just sign up quickly here.

🎙 Greg McKeown on Tim Ferriss’ podcast was not only interesting because they were walking and talking (which inspired me to do the same!) but because it was so tactical for “doing less” in a really impactful way. After listening, I know that my productivity has gone up, and I’m even more devoted to prioritizing my priorities.

📚 I would say that in the last couple of years, part of my breakdown and breakthrough was learning how to really tap into my feminine power… after allowing my inner masculine to take the wheel for so long. I’ve found this book to be one of the BEST at supporting you to move through that transition, I’d say it’s one of those that’s really changed my life for the better.

🍋 I’ve been going strong on my daily Glōci habit and can truly credit this for my digestion being so smooth when travelling. The minute I hop on a plane, I swear my bowels normally press pause (🤣), but this European summer I haven’t had a single issue. I take mine first thing along with my coffee.
