Inside Out Smile

Sometimes, life gives you these little nudges. Like the other day, I was on the phone with a friend from Texas. And this lady's dog, fresh from surgery/treatment, just wandered over to me. The lady and I  started talking, and she opened up about her tension with her husband as they were both worried about their dog. I recommended a vet I knew, and we got into this whole discussion about corporate versus independent care. It's funny how that applies to so many things in life. Not just vets, but in every industry. It's about the personal touch, the genuine care. My friends and I are all...

Today we’re diving into the idea of slow mornings and the old proverb: “Haste is from the devil.” What does that phrase mean, and how can it transform your mornings—and maybe even your life

The Proverb "Haste Is From the Devil"

"Haste is from the devil" is an old adage that suggests rushing leads to mistakes, stress, and missed opportunities for reflection. In our fast-paced world, this ancient wisdom feels more relevant than ever. Haste often comes from fear of not having enough time. But when we rush, we don’t live fully in the moment. Instead, we’re consumed by what’s next."

The Power of Slow Mornings

Slow mornings aren’t about laziness—they’re about intention. They allow you to anchor yourself before the chaos of the day begins. Think about it: when you wake up and immediately scroll your phone or rush to your first obligation, how does that feel? Compare it to starting your day with quiet time, gratitude, or even just a few deep breaths.

Studies show that intentional morning routines reduce stress, improve focus, and even enhance productivity throughout the day. It’s about creating space to think, to feel, and to simply be.

Practical Tips for Embracing Slow Mornings

  1. Wake Up 15 Minutes Earlier:
    • Set your alarm just a little earlier and use that time for yourself. Stretch, journal, or sip your coffee mindfully.
  2. Ditch the Phone:
    • Resist the urge to check emails or social media. Instead, spend those first minutes disconnected.
  3. Set Intentions for the Day:
    • Take a moment to write or think about one thing you’re grateful for and one thing you’d like to accomplish.
  4. Incorporate Rituals You Love:
    • Whether it’s reading, meditating, or simply enjoying a quiet breakfast, find what fills your cup.

Why It Matters

The idea of haste being "from the devil" isn’t just about avoiding mistakes; it’s about reclaiming the beauty and depth of life. When we’re always rushing, we lose sight of the small, meaningful moments that make life rich.

So, take a moment to reflect: how do your mornings feel now? And how could slowing down transform them? Remember, the goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.

Thanks for tuning in. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who might need a reminder to slow down. Until then, remember: slow down, savour the moment, and make your mornings—and your life—matter., especially by helping others

 

Love and Peace Always,

xoxo
