⏰ Every Second Counts 7/7: Stillness Is a Superpower 🪐 #SlowDownSunday #ItsAboutTime #ScienceSoulSuccess

Ever notice the faster you go, the more life feels like it’s slipping through your fingers?

We think speed equals success, but in reality, speed without direction just gets you lost… faster.

Science says your brain has a secret gear called the Default Mode Network...it only kicks in when you slow down. That’s when you connect dots, spark ideas, and actually hear yourself think.

The universe models this perfectly. Planets don’t rush around the sun—they orbit with precision. Even black holes, the cosmic heavyweights, sit still and let everything come to them.

Neil deGrasse Tyson once said, “We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us.”

Translation? You’re literally built for cosmic-level patience.

And long before telescopes, the psalmist said it plain: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). That’s not an invitation to laziness-- not at all. it’s a challenge to trust the power of pausing.

Here’s the plot twist: Most people don’t stop because they’re afraid of what they’ll notice in the quiet. But that’s where the breakthroughs hide.

💡 Today’s Challenge: For just five minutes, stop moving. No scrolling, no “just checking” emails, no pretending to meditate while planning your to-do list. Just… still. See what shows up.

Because sometimes the fastest way forward is to stop--on purpose.

🎧 Hit play and let’s close out this week’s journey not with a sprint, but with a perfectly-timed pause.
