Want to enjoy a better quality of life and accomplish larger-bigger-exceptionally better goals - try slowing-down.

When we live in the fast-lane like a formula1 driver - we actually start living superficially - we stop connecting with others on deeper level, we lose our persona and our self-identity and we can no longer see the beauty around us.

Instead you may find your life full of stress, tension, anger, irritations and depressions etc.

Many of you have acquired the masters in the science and art of rushing - you may find yourself hurrying to get somewhere all the time - irrespective of whether or not there is some emergency.

Even while eating or flying or talking or in the loo - you are on your laptop or checking something on your mobile.

In many situations - slowing-down, putting a break in your mad-rush every day routine and letting-go - can help you make better decisions, connect with people deeper, get-insight into what you are missing, have meaningful and joyous experiences, improve your quality of life and create very powerful outcomes - to name a few benefits - besides improving your mental-emotional well-being and preventing burnout. 

The biggest obstacle and the enemy in slowing-down- is you yourself - your own mindset, your social-conditioning and your habits.

The most common and damaging perception that most of us have got drilled-conditioned-programmed into us is that - we need to be busy - even if that means creating and projecting busyness - because being  busy is better.
