Show notes
Todays topic is slowing down: Why we resist it & what we can do about it
Why we resist:
- Feel guilty when we relax
- Our worthiness = based on productivity
- AND we believe that working more = more success, more money
- In your birth chart, this is particularly important for: Virgo placements, Chiron in Taurus, Pluto or Saturn in the 5th House
- but its not true!
Why is it not true:
- This belief is a relatively modern invention and comes straight out of capitalism post-industrial revolution
- Think of the people you love -- do you love them because of what they do? Or who they are?
- Consistent, small actions are WAY more powerful than burning yourself out
What we can do about it:
- STOP being “on” all of the time!
- Break your big goals down into small, daily action steps
- Once those are done DO ANYTHING ELSE
- Sit with the feelings as they come up DO NOT TRY TO SIMPLY push them away
- Replace actions taken from guilt with nurturing practices: taking 3 deep breaths, making yourself a cup of tea, taking a stretch break, going on a short walk if it’s available to you, meditate for 2 minutes
