The Slow Down Challenge is a free 11-day email series to guide you into slowing down and reconnecting to yourself.
Each day, over 11 days, I’ll be offering things I’ve learned, questions to ask yourself for inner inquiry, and practices to try on. My hope is that you’ll develop a deeper connection to yourself through this time and continue to slow down and go inward to develop a beautiful relationship to yourself and life itself.

Why Slow Down?
We are so tied into this restless, relentless, machine-like culture, disconnected from our own truths and our own power.
There is another way of operating, one that is in synch with our natural rhthyms and in harmony with all living things. To create the world and the way of life we truly desire, we must first slow down.
Slowing down is one of the ways we begin to disentangle ourselves from these systems so we can reconnect to the truth of who we are. It is something that sounds seemingly simple, but it requires consistent, conscious awareness and a willingness to become a different person. This challenge is just a start.

Slow It Down…Times Two
In December 2020, I packed up my Jeep Wrangler and drove over 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to Philadelphia alone. In January, I was temporarily settled in an apartment in the Art Museum area when the inspiration for this challenge popped into my awareness.
My entire system was deeply craving slowing down. It's not the first time and it wasn't the last. One of the things I began to intuitively do was move much slower. I'm a fast walker, fast talker. I generally do most things faster than the average person, and I needed to counteract that quickness with intentional slowness.
The pace of most of our lives is much faster than is natural for us. We're constantly tapped into devices that ding (if you haven't turned off your app alerts yet, I highly recommend it), alarms that tell us what we're supposed to be doing, and if you live in a city, the external hustle and bustle is incessant.
Choosing to intentionally move slowly helps to remind us that we are practicing disentangling ourselves from this disharmonious, fast-paced world and reconnect to our natural rhythms.
For most of you, moving slowly is going to feel unnatural. That's the point. We're so swept up by the pace that society dictates for us that it feels like we're going against the current by slowing down.
