Using A Slower Pace

Today, I decided to use a slower pace doing things here at the house. Use to be I had a habit of doing things really fast. The fast pace came from working in a chicken processing plant, and from the hatchery where you had to deliver from a fast pace. But today, I decided to slow down, I was getting nowhere fast. I feel better and got more done. Sometimes, I was putting pressure on myself to get it done right now. Now that I'm retired, I thought what the heck. I feel so much better. Taking my time and enjoying it. Such a nice and pleasant day, even though it is cold. Enjoy your day.

I need to break the habit of rushing. Not easy, but getting there slowly.

You have to work at pace that feels comfortable for you.

After working so fast for years, I need to find what works for me. Not easy.

I know, but working fast for so long it is not easy to just slow down.

I have following the rules of slowing down my work during the day and relax and do the best I can to complete my tasks.

I think that is the right move. Just go a bit slow so you can enjoy everything more.
Doing things in a faster mode makes me so exhausted except if I am doing it in a systematic way...

Sometimes, my heart does race, and I get out of breath, that is when I sit down.

I'm finding that out. But it's not easy after years of working fast.

One of the perks of being retired is doing what you want when you want and being able to take your time. Slowing down is a good idea. Have a good day.

The one thing I do at a fast.pace is walking. My friends say if I'm running or walking. All other things I do with a comparatively slow pace.

Well, kudos to you for being able to walk fast. Good for you. I like that every thing else is done at a slow pace.

@popciclecold I agree.Everything else should be done at a slow pace.We should eat at a slow place chewing every morsel properly; we should implement a plan after considering it properly. We should bath;drink water;read;write and do almost all other things slowly.

Yes, it's important to take things slow. I've been doing this more lately, especially when I realize there is no need to rush.
