The Rushing Trap: What If Slowing Down is the Fastest Path to Clarity?
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly rushing, creating a false sense of urgency in every corner of your life? We’re told that staying busy and moving fast is the key to success.
But what if the opposite is true? What if slowing down is actually the most efficient way to get to where you want to be?
I first heard the phrase “Slow is Fast” during a therapy training last year, and it immediately stuck with me. This simple motto perfectly captured a truth I’ve seen with countless clients—and in my own life: when we slow down, we create the space needed to move with intention and purpose.
Since then, I’ve been intentionally applying this mindset to my life. It’s not about stopping everything or losing momentum; it’s about making space for what truly matters. Here’s how I put it into practice and what I noticed as a result.
How I Intentionally Slowed Down
- Prioritized What Truly Matters
I focused only on what genuinely needed to get done and became more flexible with what wasn’t urgent. - Said “No” More Often
I learned to decline commitments that didn’t align with my interests or energy levels, freeing up my time and mental space. - Gave Myself Time
I started going to bed earlier and waking up earlier to allow for more restful mornings. In conversations and interactions, I gave myself more time to respond and react, rather than rushing to fill the silence. - Literally Moved Slower
I began taking my time getting out of bed, walking through my home, and completing tasks without rushing.
The Surprising Results: What Happened When I Slowed Down
By releasing the pressure to constantly rush, I experienced some powerful changes:
- Gained Clarity
My mental capacity increased, giving me the space to reflect on what was working in my life and what needed adjusting. This clarity helped me align my priorities with my values and set more meaningful goals (starting this blog!) - Reconnected with My Values
When you’re constantly busy, it’s easy to lose touch with what’s most important. Slowing down gave me the opportunity to check in with my priorities and ensure they were aligned with my values. - Found a Deeper Ability to Access Self-Compassion
The constant pressure to be productive often comes with a harsh inner critic. Slowing down created a buffer, making it easier to be kind to myself and access self-compassion. - Noticed More
I became more aware of the “rushing trap”—how often I created a false sense of urgency in my day. This awareness is the first step toward change.
Each shift has had a meaningful and lasting impact. It’s all still a work in progress, but I’m grateful for the reminder to slow down.
