Often times, slowing down and being still, with nothing in particular to accomplish, can come with noticing just how noisy we already are inside ourselves. So that you can slow down when you need to, what helps you be with the busy parts of your interior world?

[image description: Screenshot of a Facebook status that reads: "It can take a ton of effort to slow down." Comments that follow read: "Seriously!! ...and I were talking about the irony of trying to do the work to do less work — in this case reading a book on doing more — in order to do less.

And then I remember...maybe I don't want to get back up to that previous speed...and then I relax and shift down a gear," "An object at rest tends to stay at rest," and "Right?! Brain like a pinball machine over here!" Anna responds to the last comment, "Yeah."]
