Paige's Perspective: Embracing the Present Amidst Life's Rush
Episode Overview
Recognise when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. Slowing down doesn't mean you're failing; it means you're listening. You have time to change, learn, and grow. Find joy in small moments and stay present. Challenge the belief that resting is laziness.
The tragedy is not that you spent 20 years in something that didn't work. The tragedy would be spending 21 when you already know.
Ever wondered why life feels like a never-ending race? Paige Robinson tackles this feeling of urgency many of us carry in the latest episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off.' Drawing inspiration from an old Alabama song, Paige delves into why we're constantly in a hurry, even when there's no real fire to put out. She explores how our nervous systems have adapted to survival mode, tricking us into believing we're always running out of time.
With a blend of personal anecdotes and relatable scenarios, Paige encourages listeners to slow down and embrace the present. Paige shares her own experiences, like rushing through simple tasks such as doing the dishes, only to realise there’s no actual crisis demanding such urgency. She challenges the notion that resting equates to laziness and questions who taught us to live life like a race.
The episode is filled with moments that will make you pause and reflect on your own life pace. Paige's message is clear: you have time. Time to learn, unlearn, and create. Time to change and grow. She urges listeners to listen to their bodies and intuition, reminding them that the tragedy isn’t spending years in a situation that doesn’t work but rather continuing in it when you know it doesn’t.
Her words are a gentle nudge to slow down, breathe, and find those glimmers of joy and connection. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that life happens in the present moment. So why not take a breath, look around, and notice something good today? You might just find that you're right where you need to be.
