Good message. Slowing down doesn't necessarily have to mean or be viewed as something negative, or undesirable like being less productive or lazy.
People should recognize the positive side and benefits of slowing down in their lives, especially in the current era of hectic, extremely-busy lifestyles.
Thankyou......it frustrates me to no end when our conversations evolve around this subject..I get loud & angry..which doesn`t help...and then I think well..Brenda..how does it effect you / it`s not your life..so just listen ..which I do a LOT..which is probably the base of my frustrations... cause it`s always the same story over & over
Brenda, I understand! We can't make people change and it can be frustrating to see them repeat unhelpful behaviors. We need a lot of patience in this life!
You`re right Sandra...it`s not our job to change people, just like it`s not their job to try to change us...we know we don`t like it...so why would I think they would..lol
I am a lot like you, Sandra. I jump at the least little noise and am having a hard time walking in town with traffic noise and lawn equipment. If I see or hear any lawn work or construction happening, I change my route to hopefully avoid the noise. I have a rather boring (for anyone else) routine, being home, going to the studio daily and buying groceries once a week. There are the doctor appointments for Bill and me. Other than that, I love staying home. I am also a HSP but have learned to keep my life as simple as possible. I am so glad you have figured out what you need to do to have a peaceful and happy life! We are all different and we do have different requirements to be healthy and peaceful. Sending love <3
Jean, It's all about knowing ourselves, isn't it! And you seem to know yourself well and take care of yourself well accordingly. I'm delighted to hear how you do that!

Raveen, So agree, we need to remove the stigma from slowing down. Thanks for underscoring this.
very practical article especially for those that don`t know how to put their own needs on the front burner.. Thank you
my sister is one such person...so I shared with her...
Brenda, Glad you can relate to this and pass it on. Hope it was helpful to your sister!
