Slowing Down Is a Skill—And One We’re All Relearning
Life moves fast. Headlines. Markets. Notifications. Even in retirement, many people feel like there’s never quite enough time for themselves, their health, or the moments that matter most.
Lately, I’ve been exploring something simple but surprisingly powerful: stillness.
I picked up a book called Strength in Stillness by Bob Roth, one of the most well-known meditation teachers in the country. What struck me wasn’t the science (though there’s plenty of that) it was how many high-performing people turn to meditation not to escape the world, but to meet it with more clarity, calm, and purpose.
Meditation, mindfulness, or just five quiet minutes in the morning has been shown to reduce stress, improve focus, and even support better sleep. But more than that, it creates space. Space to think. To breathe. To reset.
You don’t need to sit cross-legged or light a candle. Just pause. Take a walk without your phone. Watch the leaves change. Let your mind rest from the noise.
In a world full of motion, stillness isn’t a luxury it’s a form of strength.
Wishing you a season of calm, clarity, and moments that matter.
