MOVE! Zoom! Who cares about speed limits, double yellow lines, safety, and longevity!
He was racing the clock… battling for position those who were not even racing.
So yes, I felt quite smug about 5 minutes later when I pulled up behind him as he sat behind a delivery truck at a stop light — him fuming and revving, me all calm and confident. Bwaahahaha. The tortoise is wise!
Lives a LOT longer, too.
A hare in the wild lives maybe 3 years. A tortoise 80 to 255 years. Woah.
Yet how many of us feel rushed by clock pressure? How many of us speed up to be “on time” when recognizing that spaciousness would allow a very different kind of journey?
It’s not even a race.
Well, unless you’re a rat — in the rat race.
For us Freedom Kin, “racing” feels like pressure, tension, strain, and Never Enoughness. It’s a signal — like the red check engine light, redline in the car, stoplight… and unexpected medical diagnosis.
Slow down. Unrush yourself.
Our culture is so whacked that “unrush” is not even considered a word. RUSH is, though. Let’s shift that.
When we shift from rushing to Being Unrushed, our body changes. Our nervous system has more capacity. Our cells and systems have space to heal and strengthen (which they do not if we’re doing the biomedical equivalent of yelling FIRE FIRE FIRE all the time).
Unrushed, we actually go where we want to go… faster. But I don’t mean faster at racing place and place, checking off to-do items. I mean being clear and present while doing work that matters deeply to us, building what will endure for our long and well-savored thriving life.
