Sometime while I sing with my 3 year old, he requests that I sing a song “ssllloooooowly.” Its a sign that the is enjoying our singing, our time together, as well as expressing his need to better understand and grasp the language in the song.
If we were to choose something in our day that we could do sslllooooowly what would it be? Would you choose something easy like getting out of bed. (Who likes getting out of bed fast?). Or something hard, like driving? Would you choose something that is somewhat new or not a usualy part of your day? Or something that is a daily ritual or habit?
Whether it be eating, driving, talking, walking, or even exercising, try doing something slowly. You might discover a new appreciaition for the task or find out that maybe you have not performing at your best in the old FAST way.
