Half speed
Monday, March 16, 2020 at 11:07AM 
If you’ve felt busy anxious overwhelmed worried or hyper ... you might be running at twice the speed.
Thinking at 2x
Speaking at 2x
Walking and talking at 2x
Jumping to conclusions at 2x
Interrupting quicker than normal
Getting frustrated sooner than usual
Losing patience quicker than usual.
If and when we experience any of these ‘faster than our normal’ responses or reactions, it’s a great opportunity to take a speed check.
Rather than thinking ‘Oh I need to slow down’, try thinking ‘half speed’.
Half speed.
Half of the current crazy speed of thinking working talking juggling leaping and reacting. At half speed we begin to notice more, we’re tuned in to other people better and things can become clearer for us. It might not *really* be half speed, but it’s an easier mark to reach for.
Is this a new way of thinking for you? Rather than staying busy frantic and overwhelmed, it’s worth slowing down when other things seem to start going faster.
