Go Slow to Grow
Slow down David, why are you always in a rush, at times I rush to get up and then to eat my breakfast and to get most things done during the day until believe it or not I rush to go to bed, ‘Slow down David’ I say to myself, I have been getting better, taking the time to enjoy the moment, I can now watch a film, stop on my cycles and enjoy the countryside, snooze on the train and turn my phone off in the evening, plus I try to eat slowly.
So why did I need the book ‘Go Slow to Grow’ by Jackie Jarvis, because it helped to reinforce my need to slow down in life and given my some more wonderful tips and ideas. I particularly like chapter three ‘ What are you in Pursuit Of’ what a great question and I loved chapter 11 ‘Listen to your music’ which I have already found my self using in conversation with others I love that phrase and idea.
Jackie gives loads of personal examples and is very open about her stories in her life how the concept of ‘ Go Slow to Grow’ has helped her immensely.
The whole book is a great indulgence in your self to have a really chat with yourself so you can get more comfortable with yourself, have better conversations with yourself, enjoy yourself more and grow by going slow so you focus on the really important bits YOU, Enjoy the book I certainly did.

Buddhists recommend walking me
Buddhists recommend walking meditation. This involves moving slowly so that your awareness becomes focused on your body and your mind gets a break from all the thoughts that constantly clutter it up. “Go Slow to Grow” is a wonderful and concise book that shows you how to still your mind, reflect and expand your conscience of the journey you’re on, a vital thing to be able to do if you seek peace and personal fulfilment in amongst the busyness of life.
The author, Jackie Jarvis, an avid walker who has been published on pilgrimages and their impact on well-being, is a business coach who helps her clients while walking in nature with them. In this book, she not only makes references to her own spiritual journey but illustrates each succinct chapter with the “voice of slow”, an elegant expression of that voice of wisdom that lies beyond the mind but which is always accessible if we still ourselves enough to become present to it.
Clear, simple but never patronising; unfettered by religion yet consistent with all faiths and none; and packed with spiritual truths while staying free of mumbo jumbo and pseudoscience, “Go Slow to Grow” is a gem: an authentic spiritual compass for everyone, written by a woman who not only talks the talk but who also walks the walk.

A book full of practical wisdo
This is a wise and beautiful book. If you feel disconnected from yourself, caught up in the busyness of life, or just plain overwhelmed, then Jackie Jarvis's book could be just what you need. This book is practical and accessible, whilst also having real depth. And I've never heard the benefits of presence described so clearly: "Being present can be very relaxing because your mind only needs to deal with one thing - the present."

Description
Busy business owner and coach, Jackie Jarvis, shares her personal journey with honesty and humour. Reaching a point in her life when she felt an urge to slow down and be truer to her heart’s desire, she found that the struggle with herself was the biggest challenge of all.
She writes about what many of us, living busy, fast paced lives feel. She touches on what deep down we all have the greatest longing for but at the same time are afraid to reach out for, and afraid to give ourselves permission to have.
If, like Jackie, you listen to ‘The Voice of Slow’ and what it has to say to you, you will become inspired to follow her path to slowing down, stressing less and enjoying life more.
Read slowly to appreciate the important messages here for you.
*This book is based on an earlier version titled ‘In Pursuit of Slow’.’In Pursuit of Slow’ was an Amazon Bestseller in the Top 50 Self Help category.
