Slowing Down to Speed Up
I have a friend whom I met through this course last year that says that quite often, and on occasion, to me. And I think because of that, I find myself saying it to others, often as well. Isn’t it true?
I wrote last week about my Koda Boy and I getting attacked by a pitbull. It was a very traumatic incident and on the rare occasion that I let my mind go there, I still get upset.
Thank Goodness for the Law of Substitution! Related to that was my leg injury. It got infected. So, a little over a week after that attack, I decided to go to my local E.R. and get some help.
You see part of my daily habits, is that I was walking around in circles in my back room, while doing my auto-suggestions for some leverage! I give subby what he needs and, at the same time, give my body some much needed exercise!
That activity went away this week. What that decision did was, number one, allow my leg some crucial healing time and at the same time, allow me to focus more fully on My Habits! I was slowing down so I can speed up.
Ironically, or perhaps, Not so ironically, I noticed in my tribe polos, that my tribe, and I mean the Whole tribe, was going through the exact same thing!
We are at that point in the class where we are somewhere between a quarter of the way and half the way through the class. So, everyone is experiencing change, but it is unfamiliar change, and so we need time to get used to the “new wings”. We’re slowing down to speed up.
The coolest thing happened just the other day. I had started this blog and only had the title and the first paragraph written. I decided to walk away and gather my thoughts. Less than a day later, 2 members of my tribe came onto polo saying that they Needed to Slow down in order to speed up!!! How freakin cool!!
