I once wrote on a scrap paper “Slow down”. It was very profound for me at the time because I was hustling here and there.
It came to me because I was running around trying to get things done and I bumped into my bookshelf. It kind of hurt. But specifically I knocked over many things on the shelf. I was thinking, ‘Hey, I need to be more careful!’ Why do I care about all these things anyways?
I realized I didn’t need to be doing so many things. This is simply my default behavior. I have a lot of irons in the fire. When I wrote the reminder ‘Slow Down’, I put it on my shelf.
A week later, I caught myself doing the same thing. I was running around I didn’t know which way was forward. I remembered my scrap paper and decided I needed a bigger reminder. This time I used my label maker to print a small sign so that I could attach it to the inside of my door. That way when ever I left my room, I would see it and remember– is it important?

There’s so much to discover about balancing these two halves — feminine and masculine.
