Learning to Slow Down on Purpose

26

For a long time, I wore “busy” like it was proof of purpose.
The fuller my schedule, the safer I felt — like movement meant meaning.
But peace has a quieter language.

I’m learning that slowing down isn’t laziness. It’s healing.
It’s me choosing softness over speed, stillness over noise.
It’s how I rebuild my peace — not by doing more, but by being more present.

There’s a kind of strength in resting without guilt, in pausing before you pour again.
Because slowing down isn’t stepping back — it’s coming home to yourself.

So today, I’m moving gently. On purpose.
