Storytelling
I had a strange morning, not so easy, in which I had to adapt for the people I love.
Not easy: because it’s not easy to admit that even if you feel like you are the best version of yourself and you do things from your heart, the action can have a ripple effect and consequences.
My pattern: I exhaust them.
Indeed, I have often been criticized for not being too slow-taker? But what does it actually mean to be a slow-taker?
If I start from the definition of slow fashion, it is first and foremost a system of values, isn't it?
And not actions as such.
What would be the values of a slow-taker? Love, compassion, presence, listening, union, curiosity, awareness, mutual aid.
If that's the case, I am clearly among the top champions of slow entrepreneurship.
On the other hand, if we look at my actions, I am clearly not what the world calls a "slow-preneur." I move fast. I've always been fast. Talk to my parents🤣, they didn't know what to do with me. They are probably the first ones I exhausted (but clearly entertained as well). The next ones on the exhaustion list Claudine: my babysitters.
And live today in 2023, I am once again faced with the same thing.
A pattern that repeats itself, but is part of my own speed. I have clearly learned to slow down for the benefit of my relationships and I have seen the benefits. I owe it largely to the circus which helped me calm my physical hyperactivity.
"It’s difficult today to see that I have hurt some of my partners by pushing them to run up the mountain with me, when they possibly wanted to walk it. I try to adapt a little more each day to be part of the group, but it’s hard. I feel like I’m losing my true self and my needs for hyperactivity are not being met."
How can I adapt to the pace of others while going at my own pace?
"Today, I want to be chosen for my value system and not my actions. And let it be remembered that every action comes from my heart."
Psst: You can also ask my parents about the heart story. For 3 years, it's the only thing I know how to draw. And believe me, with my hyperactivity, I've drawn it everywhere I shouldn't have.
My parents' phone number is:

Psst: this blog took me 4 minutes to write + 5 minutes for the template. That's my own pace.
