This Is What You Need To Hear Right Now: Sometimes You Need To Slow Down To Speed Up
In today’s word, we can get a car, a meal, or even a date at the touch of our fingertips. It’s made us increasingly impatient (ever had an Uber say they are coming in over ten minutes!?!) and this directly impacts our approach to finding love. There's an expectation of Love On Demand, or the instantaenous and effortless connection that we believe we can have whatever we want, whenever we want.
But this is what gets us in trouble: We jump to conclusions too quickly. We discount people because the initial spark isn’t there. We get ahead of ourselves, imaginging a future that hasn't had time to play out. We aassume the worst if they haven't texted back in 10 minutes.
By releasing the expectation of love on demand, you remove the pressure to know immediately and give the space for connections to develop organically. Plus all this go-go-go is not good for our mental health. Sometimes by slowing down a bit, you end up speeding up in the end.
❤️ Forward to a friend that also needs to hear this as well.
