December 2020 - Slowing Down

This is the time of year that we may find ourselves feeling more naturally inclined to slow down. Fewer hours of daylight and colder temperatures invite us to seek the comforts of hearth and home. Paradoxically, the winter holidays can make us feel that we can't slow down because there is too much to do.

Perhaps this is the December where things are simplified.

Less travel. Fewer errands. Slowing down and savoring the simple pleasures without all the pressure. This can look like taking time to be intentionally unproductive. But resting and reflecting have value. By allowing yourself moments of solitude and stillness, you are "sharpening your saw" so when the time comes, you have more energy, clarity and focus for your important work.
