We describe slowing as an internal posture—living from rest, not rush—while also naming external, intentional choices that help create margin and space to be present to yourself and to God. We discuss how slowing often starts as a planned habit (like adding 10–15 minute blocks between commitments) and, over time, becomes a natural rhythm that shows up in the cracks and crevices of everyday life. We also explore how an intentional plan can help you build margin and rest into your schedule.
