Slow Down with Carl Honore - The Fascinating Pandemic Workshop - Tiempo Justo - Gili Home of Slow

from From Slow to Flow · host Secrets with Julie Spark

🤔 ABOUT THIS VIDEO 👇  Have you heard of Carl Honore?  He wrote the book #SLOW, which still to this day remains the person that guided me into realising that Slow is not just a name, but it’s an entire movement. Carl got there because he needed to, he was a very fast person, every moment of his day was a race against the clock. He was just rushed all the time, and he knew that it was wrong, but he couldn’t stop.  When you get stuck in fast forward, it often takes a wake-up call, that makes you realise that you are living way too fast. There is a light that goes on and says: that’s it, I cannot do this speed anymore, and you have a burnout or fall sick.  Carl didn’t have that, he started speed reading Snow White to his child, he became an expert at turning multiple pages at once hoping his child didn’t notice. When he picked up a book that said the “one-minute bedtime stories”. His first reaction was, I need that book now! His second reaction was a lightbulb going on thinking, am I really in such a hurry that I am prepared to send my son to bed with a soundbite, instead of a story? He had an out-of-body experience and could see himself from above.  He realised he was racing through his life, instead of living it. He pushed pause and stopped. He had hit rock bottom and began to change. He began reconnecting with his inner tortoise.  In his TED talk, in praise of slowness, Carl says even instant gratification takes too long.  🤓 VIEW THE BLOG POST 👇  https://juliespark.com/the-slow-movement-how-to-rethink-your-speed-of-life  🔔 SUBSCRIBE TO FROM SLOW TO FLOW ON YOUTUBE 👇  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqwT2X37l7LYEAsjiFHitTg  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬  🗣 TALK TO ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 👇  Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/askjulie.spark  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/slowsecrets  Linked In ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-spark-ba1287a/  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬  💻 MY PRODUCTS & COURSES 👇 www.juliespark.com/programs  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
