What if the key to sustainable performance is learning how to slow down?

Maybe it's from sitting at my desk for 5 hours straight and not moving and typing. But, oh, I got to get this work done, so I'm just going to keep going. I'm just going to push through it. And once I stop, it will go away. But we don't realize how much time we actually waste throughout the day and how little time it actually takes to release some of that tension, to start to embody how we feel, understand where some of that pain, discomfort, emotions are coming from. And if we just breathe and look within, we can release it, and it takes less time than it would if we're— if we wait and end up in the hospital or the doctor's office because we ignored it. You know, the more we continue to ignore it, like you said, the, the worse it gets. But once our body starts to send those signals, it's best for us to, to, you know, individually, holistically treat it on our own when we start to feel it. You know, if, if we push pause, take a moment, okay, I have I have, you know, back-to-back meetings, but, you know, let me find just a few moments between those meetings, even if it's, you know, I encourage people to start off what I call a 90-second pause, even if it's just 90 seconds so I can decompress, breathe, release some of the stress, and mentally focus on what my next step is, how I want to move forward. That is transformational in itself. And starting to train our minds and bodies to do that consistently throughout the day, whether it's, you know, first thing in the morning when we wake up or in the evening before we go to sleep so we can get a full restful night's sleep. That can save lives.
