Slow is fast
The essential difference
between humans and animals is
humans have thinking
Since the industrial age
we are more proud of "thinking"
and constantly accelerating development
pursuing
"efficiency, high quality, and high level"
thus producing "tyranny of the mind"
and being eager for quick success
and pursuing excellence so much
why do we have a worse experience
Insomnia, internal friction, disharmonious interpersonal relationships
The point is that we don't make much money
It's not just the material pursuit of "speed"
We also want to be faster when practicing
Cognition is improved
but the feelings are far behind
We want to change ourselves quickly
and hope that
the people around us will also grow quickly
We also begin to pursue "speed" spiritually
I wanted to learn Tai Chi yesterday
and found that many students were
the same as me and wanted to learn a few moves quickly
but the teacher was still warming up
after teaching for half an hour
The teacher said that
the original intention of learning Tai Chi
is not to make oneself more comfortable ?
Warm-up and stretching are equally important
Don’t learn for the sake of learning
Practitioners pursue spiritual speed
The subconscious mind is also a kind of resistance
At this time,
you will find that the more anxious you are for success
, the more difficult it will be to achieve
Because wanting to change yourself quickly
is actually a disguised self-attack
You cannot allow yourself to change your habits slowly
There is another negative self-judgment in your mind
If you do not achieve the expected change
, you will feel frustrated
The brain always lives in a lonely imagination
You need to go out into reality
Reduce the flying thoughts
and continue to focus on the present
The experience is more important than a lonely brain
Slow is fast
