For all the havoc it\u2019s wreaked on lives around the world, Honor\u00e9 can see a silver lining, as it left so many people with no choice but to slow down and spend more time thinking about their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has given people an opportunity to think &#8211; reflect &#8211; for the first time and make big decisions; deep, seismic, tectonic changes which can really only be made wisely if you slow down and think it through first&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor a lot of people, I think this will have been a real inflection point, in a good way,\u201d Honor\u00e9 tells WellBeings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he also recognises that lessons learned can be easily lost as we learn to live in a Covid world and are tempted back to the old addicted-to-speed ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His advice: keep a record of the slow stuff you turned to during lockdowns, and don\u2019t lose sight of the pleasure it offered. Embed it into your life, even if at a reduced level &#8211; whether it\u2019s just a commitment to going for an evening walk with a partner, or some dedicated time with the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so easy to enjoy it at the time and then forget it later. To get caught up in the vortex of fomo (fear of missing out) and rush and distraction when things open up and speed up again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s the first to acknowledge how hard it is to break our addiction to speed. \u201cPeople are defined by their to-do list. It\u2019s woven into the vernacular now, that busier is better, so that when you meet someone in the street and say, \u2018hi, how are you doing\u2019, they say \u2018busy\u2019. If you don\u2019t say busy, somehow that feels like an act of surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"1411\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1411 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/wellbeings.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Carl-Honore2-1600x1067-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carl Honore speaking at Ted Talks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As Honor\u00e9 argues, slowing down doesn\u2019t mean not moving, or replacing dynamism with sloth. Rather, it\u2019s all about re-establishing connections &#8211; whether within ourselves, or with others &#8211; and rediscovering the profound importance that flows from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His personal epiphany &#8211; a \u201cpretty searing\u201d one, as he admits now &#8211; was when he found himself so focused on finding shortcuts and quick fixes that he was seriously contemplating buying a book to share with his infant son, called One Minute Bedtime Stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy first reaction was, `hallelujah man, I need to get that book now &#8211; Amazon, drone delivery\u2019. The second reaction [was]&#8230; `is this really my life now? Am I racing through life so fast that I\u2019m even prepared to fob off my little boy with a soundbite instead of a story at the end of the day?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for those who hear his message, who then do some reflection and agree that maybe it wouldn\u2019t be a bad thing to take their foot off the gas for a bit, he has plenty of advice. Of which the first bit, not surprisingly, is to make change slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, if there\u2019s someone you care about who you think could benefit from that, he suggests this. \u201cThere\u2019s no universal formula for slowing down\u2026 They\u2019ve got to go slowly, they\u2019ve got to go gently and they\u2019ve got to experience it. It\u2019s not enough to send them persuasive or compelling reading, or show them the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey have got to experience it. Once people taste the upside of slow\u2026 they don\u2019t tend to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bowden himself says after recording the podcast: \u201cI realised how much I was victim to the cult of hurry that Carl describes. On the phone, while watching TV, eating and talking to someone, doing none of it very well. What was I missing out on? So much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really relate to the idea of feeling stuck in fast forward a lot of the time and the more I&#8217;ve focused on doing things slowly in a more considered way, it feels I\u2019m producing my best work, developing stronger friendships and deeper relationships. I am a convert to the slow movement, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1ry9YQZPOPMcEgteDMtAc7?si=9521390525e74d56\">Listen and subscribe to the WellBeings podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carl Honor\u00e9 has been preaching the power of slow for nearly two decades, but it\u2019s taken a pandemic for many in the world to appreciate his point: that perhaps our addiction to speed is taking us nowhere fast.
