Trying to create the habit of doing things slower

AND for my 100th post on @adaluscellow, after almost finishing my second round of #100daysofpractice stories (which are truly a way for me to feature my favorite music), I present to you all: 

A NEW HEADSHOT (with my old hairstyle) that comes with a new opportunity to write! Combined with the awareness of how big el regalo (o será privilegio, o el será lujo) que es tener el tiempo para hacerlo y compartirlo.

I have been trying to create the habit of doing things slower, doing every thing slower. Con calma, saboreando lo que mi cuerpo y mi mente es capaz de hacer, desde lo más significante hasta lo más complejo. Los que me conocen, saben lo innato que es para mí hacer las cosas rápido: pensar rápido, hablar rápido, resolver rápido. Así que esta nueva meta de hacer exactamente lo opuesto no es necesariamente la más fácil. Pero, paradoxically enough, no es tampoco la más difícil. Creo que por el gusto que me da poder tomarme mi tiempo, y es que la verdad ni sé por qué he vivido con tanta prisa toda mi vida. I’ll confess that maybe some part of me thought that people who do things fast, accomplish more and make the most out of a day’s time. But, I don’t subscribe to that belief anymore. If anything, I now believe the opposite and, in many ways, I think this doing things slower bit is a somewhat of a revolution of mine, a quiet way of protesting, especially in these times where all around us seems to last so little.

I intend to keep this going, and we will see what realizations come my way as I take each step, slowly, one after the other.
