Slow Living and the Golden Mean

‍As human beings, we are so easily pulled between one extreme or another, and we are so quick to make value-statements by which we exalt ourselves and judge others. (I’m just as much at fault here as anyone else. It’s easy to do.) In my personal experience, most women need to be told to go slow and be soft. We’ve spent much of the younger parts of our lives being frantic and hard. We’ve destroyed our adrenal glands, our nervous systems, and our menstrual cycles so we can go all the time and prove that we can do it all (just like a man). Slow and soft living is the only way to heal our minds and bodies and the only way to break the addiction to chronic stress and franticness.
