Unlearning the Hustle: Embracing the Snail's Pace
Last year, my business came to an end. While I was devastated, I knew deep down that my true calling was still waiting for me. My first instinct was to dive in and “fix” the situation as quickly as possible—especially since we had no income at the time. But I soon realized that my usual hustle energy was the exact opposite of what my path required.
Instead, my journey called for me to embrace the snail’s pace of goal setting and truly learn to slow down. Nature has always been my guide, especially in challenging times, and this time was no different. A small, unexpected messenger—this snail—greeted me and reminded me to move with patience and presence.
If you’re working toward something and this resonates with you, consider it a sign to slow down and be more present in your process (a reminder I’m giving myself as I write this for my new podcast!). Wherever you are in life, take a moment to pause, breathe, and listen to the guidance that’s already present on your path. It may not be a snail, but whatever it is, trust that it’s meant for you.
