Slower, Wealthier, Happier

Good morning, beautiful,

I want to start today by giving you permission to do something that sounds simple, but changes everything once you actually allow it.

You get to slow down.

Not slow down because you are tired, even though you might be.
Not slow down because something went wrong.
But slow down on purpose.

For a long time, I thought every decision needed an answer right away. Yes or no. Now or never. Move or miss it. And I lived like that for years. Always choosing, always deciding, always responding quickly because I thought that was what capable women did.

Then someone I trusted said something that stayed with me. They told me I did not have to say yes, and I did not have to say no. I could simply stay in the space of considering.

At first, that felt uncomfortable. Almost irresponsible. Like I was avoiding something. But the more I practiced it, the more I realized how powerful that pause actually is.

Considering is not indecision.
Considering is listening.

It is the space where you stop reacting and start checking in. It is the moment where you ask yourself what you actually want, not what sounds good, not what looks responsible, not what keeps the peace, but what truly serves you.

I will tell you honestly, learning how to slow down into consideration took time. In the beginning, I would remember after the fact. I would say yes too fast, then think about it later. Or say no out of fear, then realize I actually wanted the thing. But over time, I started catching myself sooner. I started pausing in real time.

Now, considering is my default.

I do not rush my answers anymore. I let things sit. I let my body respond before my mouth does. I give myself space to feel into decisions instead of forcing clarity on demand.

And that space has changed my life.

When you slow down enough to consider, you start hearing yourself again. You notice what feels expansive and what feels heavy. You recognize when something excites you and when something drains you. You stop confusing urgency with importance.

You also learn something else. You learn that you do not owe immediate access to your time, your energy, or your decisions.

That realization alone is freedom.

Slowing down does not mean you stop moving forward. It means you move forward with intention. It means your choices start matching your values. It means you stop making decisions just to relieve pressure and start making decisions that honor your highest good.

And here is the beautiful part. When you give yourself permission to consider, you stop abandoning yourself in the process of choosing.

If you are in a season where things feel unclear, that does not mean you are lost. It might mean you are finally listening. If you feel unsure, it does not mean you are weak. It might mean you are learning discernment.

You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to take your time.
You are allowed to sit in the space between yes and no until the answer feels true.

This year, slowing down is not something you do only when you are exhausted. It is something you practice because you respect yourself.

Let yourself consider. Let yourself breathe. Let yourself trust that clarity comes when you stop forcing it.

You do not need to hurry your becoming.

Love Always,

Your most magical self ✨
