#19 The power of slowing down
Have you ever experienced going into autopilot mode when you're doing many things, and suddenly you realize that you don't even know where the time went?
When we're like that, it's impossible to be present, and if we're not present, we can't connect with anyone around us, especially with our children - who come to ask us for something at the exact moment, and our speed sometimes doesn't even let us hear them!
Going slower is one of the things I've set out to do since I became a mom, precisely as a tool to help me be more present.
It's not always easy, in fact, I would say it's quite hard to achieve, but there are small things that can help us.
In this episode, I share some of the things that have personally helped me, along with a reflection on the importance of going slower.
I hope you enjoy it!
Remember to leave a review if you like it and share it with a friend who might enjoy it too.
Thank you for being here,
Fabi 💕
