Why slowing down matters

Slowing down is often mistaken for avoidance.
Sometimes it's intelligence.

When things feel stuck, the instinct is often to move faster — to decide, act, or push through uncertainty. But speed can mask what's actually happening underneath.

Slowing down creates room to notice what's being avoided, what's being overridden, and what truly matters. It allows decisions to come from clarity rather than pressure.

Not everything that feels urgent is important.
Not everything that matters reveals itself quickly.
