@jenniferanncounseling: Reposting a combination of clips I made about slowing down in January & March in honor of my good friend @Sarah Heinss | Therapist’s mega viral reel right now! 💕 @Brené Brown (!!!) commented on Sarah’s reel about slowing down and said it was “a beautiful and subversive practice.” The definition of subversive is: seeking to undermine, destroy, or overthrow an established system, authority, or set of beliefs. It describes actions, ideas, or people that challenge the status quo from within. I’ve been practicing slowing myself down in my everyday tasks for some time now. It’s the best time to practice. You don’t have to stop and do a full blown meditation - meditation and mindfulness can happen in all of the regular, in between moments. You CAN slow down. Not “when” you get everything done. But now. It’s certainly not what everyone else is doing, but I think we’re all craving it (clearly - by 23+ million views on Sarah’s reel). I’m very thankful for all the creators who are pushing back against society’s obsession with optimization and constant efficiency, and choosing to care for themselves in a way that is countercultural to what most of us have been taught. Will you join us? #slowdown #burnout #therapist #therapytok #therapistsontiktok

Absolutely 💯 me. Why do we auto rush and then have to think to slow down

Excellent! I loved watching the van girl whose husband is a travel nurse. She does everything so softly and deliberately: just living in the moment, not constantly reaching for the next.

when I started doing that, I started noticing that everyone else around me is in the same hurry hurry hurry, mentality, and the rushing around me like super speed. they’re angry and frustrated and in super speed mode.

Kristina Rhoades | “Hotwheels” :
Great reminder! Sometimes I find myself doing things “too hard,” as well. Brushing my teeth, peeling potatoes… I have to stop and pull back a bit and realize I can accomplish the same goal (often more efficiently) with less intensity. ✨

I’m afraid to stop and rest, a body in motion stays in motion. Sometimes I wish I could turn myself down

Productivity is how most people deal with certain trauma from their childhood. It’s simply that we accidentally think our human value is directly linked to our productivity. It does take attention to heal 💕🙏🏻

I’m going to cry. I’m the most rushed person I know. I rush everything and I get so irritated when everyone else is slow.

I have made a point this past year to do this and man what a change it has made. There is literally a calmness and a peace in my life that I have never ever felt.

Aw man. Watching this, I see myself. I do everything in a rush to get it done. I’m exhausted ALL the time. I end up crashing out like one day a week where I just don’t move out of my chair. I need to slow down. 🥺

It is so much harder than it seems! Especially when you get to the other side and have to retrain your brain to start tasks without the shame/anxiety/cortisol

So how do you deal with the pressure of people expecting you to move faster, do more, be quicker like you “used” to?
