Slowing Down is not a bad thing

I learned this a lot starting in the early 70s when my life was the most difficult to survive.

Then I improved upon this knowledge in the 80s and beyond while raising my older kids.

The thing is most people are so busy they forget to "Recharge" and this is dangerous because if you are working too much you start to make worse and worse decisions until your life falls completely apart often.

This is one reason why I advocate to own your own businesses where you have time to "Recharge" because when you work for someone else (especially on Salary) this is dangerous to your personal survival and the survival of your family. I suppose if you are single and your whole life is the company you work for this might work for some people. But, what happens if you get laid off or fired and you become suicidal because your "Only reason for living" is gone?

So, this is why I advocate owning your own businesses and completely controlling what you do 24 hours a day because you are more likely to survive to old age not being a "Salary Slave". Often "Salary Slaves die between 40 and 60 if they don't die sooner because of overwork.

But then, if you are a "workaholic" like my father was and many people I have met maybe this is the only way you can go forward in your lives. Being a workaholic is a lot like being an alcoholic in many ways and often many workaholics are also alcoholics too for this reason. I was grateful that my father even though he was an workaholic was also a minister so he never smoked or drank at least. So, my mother and I and my grandmother were always well taken care of financially by my father while I was growing up.

So, once again I advocate owning your own businesses as a way of being able to "Slow Down" and be with God completely for 2 to 4 days at a time so you can "RECHARGE" your senses so you continue to make good decisions so you don't self destruct your own lives or your families lives.

By Slowing down I mean you go into a somewhat altered state which could be something like a 4 days organic watermelon fast to clean out your arteries from plaque or a 4 day organic Apple juice fast (which I loved doing when I could still benefit from doing this before I was 40) where you don't do almost anything in order to spend time with God and Nature to learn what God and Life have next for you to do here on earth and beyond. Some people like to fast on pure water with a little lemon with a little maple syrup to cut the headaches from fasting up to 7 days. At these times sometimes being in nature or not is good depending upon the person.

I would go on a 4 day organic watermelon fast every summer with my wife during the 1980s before my early 40s by the way. So, when I got a heart virus in 1998 they had never seen as clean of arteries and veins as I had in any person 50 years old before at Stanford Medical in I believe it's Palo Alto where Stanford University is when I had an angiogram trying to diagnose my heart virus then.
