Have you ever felt like your life was racing toward a certain day when everything was going to be better or easier? Like you’re constantly chasing something – maybe a dream, money, the perfect body, or love, and at the core of it all – happiness?
For years I pursued all of these things, spending most of my time on activities to achieve them while ignoring my deepest needs and ultimately feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
It’s one of life’s great ironies – we work so hard to demand of ourselves that we will find peace and contentment in the future, but we don’t realize that both are available now, if only we can create the space to obtain them.
When we finally allow ourselves a little downtime, we’re often so filled with screen and sensory overload that we rarely feel truly rested.

In this short PDF, Christina explains 7 days of simple steps to help you slow down and empower yourself, and your health matters.
The suggested activities may seem simple, especially since most take five to ten minutes. But when you’re used to constantly pushing and distracting yourself, taking a moment to simply relax can become difficult.

As someone who has adopted many of the practices Christina recommends, I realized while reading The Unhurried Life that sometimes I let things slip away when I need them most—after I convince myself I don’t have time to relax Busy times.
While I had practiced many of the activities Christina recommended, I realized as I read life is not in a hurry Sometimes I let them slip away when I need them most—when life feels busier than usual, convincing myself that I simply don’t have time to relax.
But breaks are often most beneficial when we feel like we don’t have time to rest. Sometimes it’s the quiet moments during chaotic times that remind us to stop being so busy.
