I have had a speech impediment ever since I was little. I went through speech therapy for many years when I was in school. The problem is I never absorbed any of the techniques I was taught. Lately my speech has been really bad, and watching this video helped me understand that I don’t have to talk super fast, and focus on what I want to say instead of focusing on something else.
One person below commented: "I thought this was going to be about driving". Little did he realize...it is. I drive an unrestored 90 year old pickup truck. It doesn't go real fast. I must plan every turn, and every stop, and every other maneuver. I do drive the speed limit, but usually I drive a little bit slower. I've seen plenty of fingers and angry people. I see them often...the same drivers...at each stop light...for many miles. They get so frustrated that we are at the traffic light together, again, or that I sometimes pass them up, again. Planning my (driving) work gets me to the same goal as most of the other drivers, but I do it at a more relaxed pace, and I save more fuel, and I don't need brake jobs as often. You see, it is about driving..and the driving is an analogy for how we move forward though life. Thanks for presenting this great talk. I'm in.
In the first job I ever had, my boss gave me some great advice; Work smart, Not hard. The greatest advice I've ever had, I just wish I listened to her.
I am gonna go slow and try to chew on this information through this reflective summary: Why go faster? To be more stressed, to be overwhelmed and have less focus? because that is what ultimately happens. We become more disenganged, less focused and eventually, less productive. It has become a widespread infection to wear the badge of being busy, sometimes even making things up if we werent. It is time to go slower, to leave a place for grace. And in that place, intuition will be a helpful guide, and the ability of experiencing the present moment. There are four experiments that will push us towards being more graceful. 1- Make a weekly plan. This sets your focus on what needs attention so that what isnt on the plan, is probably not a priority. "Leaving space and time for the magic to happen" 2- Meditation. giving time for slowing down and practice attention to notice and utilize inspiration, intuition, intention 3- daily journaling. This is great to keep track of patterns of pace and adjusting accordingly 4- disconnecting from technology. We have been inundated with information to where we dont even process most of what we see and hear. It is practically time spent "busy" Take home message: If rushing has brought you nothing but stress and a lack of focus, engagement and productivity, It is time to change things up. Go Slow to go Fast. May your life be full of grace and true productivity so that you are fulfilled by what you do and do what matters to you.
As someone with ADHD, this is life-changing advice. I watched Kimi Werner's video about slowing down first. I highly recommend watching her TEDTalk about slowing down as well. It's very inspiring. But wow, yeah, slow down. Think about what you're doing. Take time between tasks to sit down and think about whether you're attending to your priorities. Think about how you will do the task. That takes 2-3 minutes.
There is a good book on this concept: Speed: Facing Our Addiction to Fast and Faster--And Overcoming Our Fear of Slowing Down Paperback by Brown Ph.D, Stephanie (Author)
The real lesson for me here was that your kids are magical and your only job as parents is to cultivate and provide a consistent structure for their growth, and follow the lead of the ones you love!
Great video! I agree with the video that slowing down speech could help outgrow stuttering. The positive effect is that speaking slower makes you feel more comfortable, whereas other people who speak slower have more time to double down on doubt to say a feared letter which means that 'confidence that you can move articulators during a speech block' helps in outgrowing stuttering
@@JGMeyz he is speaking at 118 words per minute. That's more on the slow side. Spending to 1.25 faster will get to 148 words per minute. Which seems to be a more suitable speed
You might just be better st learning so dont feel bad , looking at ststistics you will find some people can listen better to fast talkers and that is impressive
I had a mentor who advised me to always slow down when faced with an important decision or when taking on a new role in an unfamiliar environment or when in a tense-filled exchange. Rushing forward in every situation is not always wise. Quieting the tongue and opening up the ears makes decision making easier when I intentionally slow down. Unfortunately, I can't handle driving slowly. I have a need for speed when I'm in a car. 😎
I used to run everyday at warp speed. I used to think if Warp 4 is good then I can do twice as much at Warp 8. Its only when I slowed down to Impulse Drive that I started to make better progress. Its amazing the difference.
At 13:40 You show your 'List of Intentions'. I noticed that the list isn't really tangible, so there is nothing to measure success by, other than an overall 'feeling'. Was it your intention to remain somewhat ambiguous on this list? I'm very familiar with ISO regulations in industry, and one of the main goals of ISO-9000 to is plan your work (this is in line with your teachings), and to have tangible goals so that achievements can be quantified and measured. This is my background, and I apologize if it seems to contradict part of your program (which, by the way, was fantastic and enjoyable. I'm in).
We're very unaware of how we constantly "add on " . Think of all the things that pissed you off this year. Now realize those didn't even exist in 1920...
Accidentally clicked on this then I closed it immediately. For some reason I said I’ll watch it just to see if it was a ( beautiful mistake) -- focused replaces busy- 🤔 ok , you’ve peaked my interest I’ll be back
Somebody, please type a text reply, the point which I am not clear about the incident he mentioned. He went for watching sports(game) to the stadium. Watched sport for some time and decided to return and Started early. By luck, he got a chance to meet the celebrity and collect an autograph. What are the relation with Slowing down and this incident? It is pure luck, right? Can somebody please clarify??
The guy: replace the B word with the F word. My brain: "Fusy? That doesn't make sense" *3 seconds later* The guy: good thing my mother is not here in the audience. Me: Oh so Fusy is a slang word? Hmm never heard of it.
Proper reading would say the 613 commandments reveal the kingdom of heaven which Jesus came preaching.Grace was the last train at the station to get you there not a vehicle of abrogation
I'm so slowed down I've done nothing today except watch utube, eat, feed my cat and some knitting...I need to learn how to Move when I don't feel like moving.
"We admire people who are busy" phew! Aint that the truth. It's so vital to slow down. I love this message.
Brief Summary:
- Being focused is better than being busy
- You do not have to rush
Did u rush through the video?
So true, cuz wen ur focused u do almost everything right but when you're busy, u do very little correctly out of all the busy work you do.
Thank you
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
@@shawna_mills8414 Good call :) I actually tend to watch videos x1.5 to 2 speed

This was inspiring, and it's great to see others who also agree it's important to not feel constantly sucked in to the growing demands of society.
Amazing talk. More people should watch this!

In a PC, a processor which is ALWAYS busy, makes for a SLOWWWWWW computer.

Not a blah blah, But he said things practically, Loved it
I watched this in 1.5x speed. I need help. 😔
That's actually really funny. You gave yourself time to sit back and laugh about it afterwards ; )

Lol same
Ironic

Loved this, thank you so much Ralph - true reminders for the times and so on 🤞
I needed to listen this
Hahaha I love your mood and very smart information taught. Thanks. Learning having fun is the best!
Taking a break is the post productive thing you can do on a busy day.
Loved this speech! What a great talk.
A very nice speech!! Thanks for being brave enough to show up and talk :)

Ralph, thanks for this insightful presentation, I really love the idea of creating a "space for grace!" great job!!

Very informative. Thanks a lot.
Great talk with simple logical examples
I appreciate his humor 😆
…intentional desire to receive grace 😇
Awesome idea !!! Thanks for sharing with us
Yes, this is vitally important. Thank you for sharing!
this was a good simple reminder.
Great one. Thank you very much
Got to be bless for slowing down and it feels good really but maybe getting lazy

We have 1,000 types of Tums /antacids today along with everything else ! And we wonder why we're going nuts !
Thanks
I needed it
Breath Slower = Pranayama ( indian vedic culture), Eat slower = Greetings we give to the person who is having food ( again age old)
Space for grace
EXCELLENT SOLUTE SHOWN
Me watching this in 1.5x speed...and realising *oh the irony*
Does anyone else think that issue of rest is not the issue of not prioritizing it but stems from LACK OF RESOURCES to afford it? 😂
Alright lets get this thing cookin

Awesome message!
