Slow Down (Where It Counts)

Have you ever just pushed through a moment to get to the finish line?

“Every week brings new conversations, new wins, and new opportunities. Stay focused, stay purposeful, and keep leading with value.”

Have you ever just pushed through a moment to get to the finish line?

Yeah. Me too.

Rewind to my last CrossFit session. We were working power snatches, a complex movement where you're cycling through a hang squat snatch into a power snatch. Seven sets in, I'm moving. I'm done. Quick.

I sent the video to my coach feeling pretty good.

First thing he comes back with… you're moving too fast.

Not wrong reps. Not bad form. Just, fast for the sake of fast.

Here's the thing though; the other movements in that workout? Appropriately fast. That speed was right. The weighted movement was the one that needed to slow down.

That's the AHA.

In a fast-paced environment, we start to value speed across the board in our lives. Trust me, speed has its place and it's not the enemy.

But not everything needs the dial turned up.

It shows up in your business. And, this shows up at home too.

Business and family both have weighted moments that need to be slowed down.

So today, look at what you're rushing through and ask yourself whether it needs speed or intention.

Slow down (where it counts).

In peace,
Shonn
