#011: I Don't Think We're Meant to Move This Fast

Everything feels fast. Not just busy... but sometimes, relentless. Like life is constantly moving forward, and we’re just trying to keep up with it.And for a long time, that showed up for me as this underlying feeling of anxiety… always rushing, even through the smallest, everyday tasks.Now, of course, there are personal layers to that. But at a certain point, I started experimenting with something...I began asking myself, in real time: How slow can you go?It actually comes from my time studying acting under the Meisner technique, where a common theme was:"How subtle can you make it?”Because when something is overplayed, it doesn’t feel real. But the more subtle it becomes, the more grounded and believable it is.And somewhere along the way, that translated into life.So I started applying it to everything: walking, cooking, moving through the day… Just gently asking: How slow can you go, Austen?And what I noticed was interesting…In this episode, I explore the shift: the pace of modern life, the subtle pressure to keep up with progress, and what happens when you begin to question the speed… even just a little.Not to fix anything. Not to offer advice. Just to look at it honestly. Because the moment you begin to slow down… you might realize you never actually needed to rush in the first place.==========Keep exploring 🌍austenletourneau.com ==========
