How To Slow Down

Daily writing prompt
What’s something most people don’t understand?

You don’t always have to drive as fast as possible to get to a destination. Try leaving earlier instead. Keep your temper in check. Nothing is worth rage. If you die tomorrow and you were angry today, will you be angry for eternity? Maybe. I’m not willing to play those odds. If you treat others poorly, whether in business or personal endeavors, expect to be treated the same way at some point in your life/business dealings. Be a good person, help people, and get your face out of your phone. And slow down.

  1. So true. I need this advice myself 😂. I struggle hard with slowing down, but I have medical reasons for it. Still, I’d like to stop going 2000 miles per hours regarding some things.

    Those are the words my mom would tell me daily before I went off to elementary school. Gosh, I think I need a therapist!

  3. Good advice for maintaining one’s sanity. The hard part is remembering to implement it. This is where we humans tend to fall a bit short. It needs to be a conscious effort.

    1. It does. I struggle with these things as well, so I’m talking to myself as much as to everyone else. Once it becomes implementing, it becomes habit, maybe there’s hope for all of us.
