Why does slowing down feel so damn hard?

For many of us, learning to slow down, learning to rest when we need it, learning to listen to our bodies cues, doesn't come easily. We've been conditioned to believe that life is about doing more and having more, and that you have to work your butt off to get it. But for women, we aren't built that way. Biologically we cannot go at the same level day in and day out, we need time to slow down and rest. In this episode we explore why slowing down can be so damn hard.

We've been conditioned to believe that life is about doing more and having more, and that you have to work your butt off to get it.

But for women, we aren't built that way. Biologically we cannot go at the same level day in and day out, we need time to slow down and rest.

In this episode we explore why slowing down can be so damn hard.

Key points in this episode:

Our cyclical nature provides us with the inbuilt opportunity to slow down and rest as well as work hard each cycle
We need to change our default behaviours and language we use around rest
Slowing down feels hard because we're not use to it, you need to practice it in order to get better
For many of us we're scared of being idle, we're scared we won't earn any money or reach our goals if we slow down
