Slowing down felt terrifying at first. But it gave me back my sanity - and my success.

When I first started honouring my energy, I was afraid I’d be seen as lazy. That people would think I wasn’t serious about my business. That I’d fall behind.

But the truth is: I was already falling apart from pushing so hard.

As a Projector in Human Design, I’m not wired for hustle. I’m here to guide, to see deeply, to rest often. But I’d internalised all the cultural stories that say success = hustle, consistency = worth.

Letting go of that belief system felt like shedding a skin.

The first time I chose to slow down, everything in me resisted. But then something amazing happened. I started seeing more clearly. I began showing up more intentionally. And my energy became magnetic.

The more I respected my rhythm, the more efficient (and fulfilled) I became.

Some days, that looks like deep focus and flow.

Other days, it looks like taking a nap or walking away from my screen for a few hours.

And ironically…

The more I allowed myself to go slow, the more I got done.

Not the meaningless kind of busy work.

But the clear, aligned, needle-moving kind of work.

The work that lights me up and doesn’t drain me..

Human Design taught me that doing less isn’t lazy - it’s leverage.

When you’re aligned, even small actions create big results.

So if you’re feeling the pull to slow down, honour that. It might just be the smartest move you ever make.
