I feel like in life it is important to slow down. This generation is so used to scrolling on our Instagram and Twitter feeds so quickly that we are not taking time to look at each picture. We go through life that same way too, every moment just gets rushed. I also feel like we worry too much about how situations are going to turn out which that can speed up life instead of slowing it down.
Next time you are on social media, try to scroll slower. Take time to think about what your eyes are looking at. When you are posting something to Instagram or even Twitter, think about what words or pictures are being posted. When that is done, it easier for not only you to see when posted, but it will make more sense to the followers that are reading the posts. It will hopefully make them want to reflect and slow down their lives for a little when seeing what is in front of them.
When I feel like I am rushing or doing things too quickly, sometimes I sit down and reflect. Sometimes just by reflecting, it does tend to slow my life down a little. I am able to process what I am doing when I slow down, whether it is doing homework or reading an Odyssey article (and trust me these are things that I do a lot). So in order to make sure that I am learning everything I need to know, it is helpful for me to take the extra seconds to soak in what I come across.
On the other hand, there are moments in life that do go by quickly and we cannot control that. I believe that in our heads we worry about the moments themselves and how they will end up playing out. But if we really just focus on just the moment and being with the important people in your life, you will not have to worry about how the situation will turn out. Everything happens for a reason, as cheesy as that sounds.
