Why I wanted to slow down

Nothing like feeling as though life has lost its luster... If you've been feeling this way, may my story be inspiration to help you take a step back and reassess what you want for your life.

I realized that I want to slow down because life lost its luster. It isn’t that I don’t know how to create peace and pleasure in my life – it’s that there was no longer space for it. This felt like a mental thing, like my head was too full and the idea of taking a step back to clear it out, practice selfcare, and work with the gifts that I have been given was too much. I went into autopilot.
