In this crazy world of high tech and high anxiety it is important to realize the power of slowing things down. Life does not have to be a daily race against time. You can choose to live at a gentler pace.

When you engage in the power of slow, you can keep distractions and haste at bay. Slow living does not mean you always crawl at a turtle’s pace. It means finding your custom-made speed and creating a more gratifying life as you pause to savor your experiences more fully.

The first step is to develop a positive relationship with time and a new attitude about how you use the hours in each day.
