Here we are, starting Fall, a transition that's always been a little hard for me, but is even more so this year. I can't even watch the news...RBG, the election cycle, ongoing police brutality, corruption, wildfires, COVID deaths, ongoing systemic racism and injustice... it's completely overwhelming. If you're also feeling a little down right now, or even powerless and despair, I assure you that you are not alone.... Things are hard right now. I have a long held habit of speeding up and doing more when things get tough. As an overachiever, I learned that I can reach my goals by working harder, faster, smarter. I'd check things off the list, feel accomplished, and earn praise so that I would feel good about myself. But that "good enough" feeling wouldn't last long, and I'd find myself repeating that cycle again and again until I was completely exhausted. The truth is, speeding up, working harder, and simply doing more can actually block you from having what you most deeply want. There's a very real cost to overworking; it's not a sustainable solution. Especially now. What if you could slow downand actually achieve more of what you most deeply want? What if all the hard work you’ve been putting in (because it’s always worked before) is actually holding you back from that? What if going slower and being kinder to yourself could introduce you to your true power? I'm leading a free workshop on this TODAY Wednesday, Sept. 30th AND next Wednesday, October 7th at 3:30 PM, Lead with Slow Power: Shift from Overworked and Overwhelmed to Thriving, Sustainable Success. If you are ready to harness the power of ease and calm to reach your biggest goals, this is for you. In this live workshop, you’ll explore The cost of over-doing in your life and how it is holding you back from greater success. The secret to breaking free from the cycle of over-giving and validation seeking. Practices that help you create space and connect with your body’s inner wisdom and heart’s guide. Creating a new vision for your life so you can do less and achieve your goals with ease. For all the details and to register for this free opportunity, visit: http://www.kelseylowitz.com/slow-power_workshop I promise this workshop will leave you feeling more calm, more ease, and more motivated to create what's deeply meaningful to you... I'd love to see you there! (There are 2 date options to choose from, but if you can't make it live, I'll be sure and send the recording if you register here.)

Head on over to the Slow Power FB group and join us for this live event tomorrow! If you feel stuck and want to move forward towards a new goal, sometimes letting go of something is exactly the right next step. Find out more tomorrow!

Is it hard for you to slow down and feel your feelings? Me too! I'll be doing a FB live workshop on this topic in my Slow Power FB group today at noon PST. Hope you can join us! https://www.facebook.com/groups/slowpower

How are you doing? If you're like me, you might be feeling uncertainty fatigue: tired of the state of not knowing. Humans love knowing, being sure of things. We feel safe when we feel certain and in control. So we create plans, structures and routines to help us know what comes next, and feel comfortable. But right now, there’s so much that’s up in the air, so many unknowns, we can’t seem to find solid footing, and we definitely can’t get on with our plans. It’s no wonder t...Continue reading

"Lead with Slow Power while Sheltering in Place," starts tomorrow! (And there's one spot left!) This is a small group coaching program; a place for us to gather for connection and support during these uncertain times. The group will provide a structure that will help you slow down, feel your feelings, bring self compassion to the "over-doer" inside so you can lead from your heart, achieve your goals AND live with more ease and calm. Based on the women who have joined, I know ...this will be a really supportive group, and I'd LOVE to have one more like-minded soul join us. If this calls to you, DM me! (or see registration details below.) If you aren't sure but you want to hop on the phone today and chat about it to see if it's a fit for you, I'd be happy to connect this afternoon. There's just 1 spot left now and we start on Wednesday at 4 PM. https://www.kelseylowitz.com/slow-power-program-shelter/

Day 31 of Sheltering in Place. How are you doing? These truly are wild unprecedented times, full of change, uncertainty, fear, and loss. Here’s what I’m feeling myself, and hearing from others over and over again lately > The routines and practices that kept you balanced and calm have fallen away. > You’re either frustrated because you’ve got NO time for yourself, or you’re isolated and anxious from having too much time alone.... > There’s no space or flow between people in your home, challenging relationships. > The supportive connections you relied on from friends and co-workers have dwindled, or don’t fuel you in the same way. (Need a hug, anyone??) > Not knowing what to do with your sadness and fear, you distract yourself from feeling it by spending too much time online, or snacking! You are sheltered in place, but somehow, you’re still too busy. If you are like me, working long hours and sitting all day has you feeling cooped up and stagnant in your body. Your head is spinning with way too much screen time, Zoom, and social media. Increased household duties including homeschooling make attempting to work from home near impossible. It’s overwhelming. It is all so much. And yet somehow you still worry you aren’t doing enough... If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. In these times, leading with Slow Power means making space to connect to your heart and allowing yourself to really feel your feelings. It means letting go of having to do this quarantine life perfectly, and accepting yourself and the present moment just as it is. I've put together a group, Lead with Slow Power while Sheltering in Place, to provide a structure to help you (and me!) slow down, feel your feelings, and bring self compassion to the "over-doer" inside so you can let go, lead from your heart, and live with more ease and calm. If this resonates with you, I'd love to have you join us. It's an amazing group of women that's forming. See the link in comments for more details and registration info. Sliding scale options available. https://www.kelseylowitz.com/slow-power-program-shelter/
