Slowing Down, One Baby Step at a Time

These days, time feels slower. And somehow, that feels just right.

Ever since my baby arrived, my days have changed. They’re no longer filled with endless to-do lists or rushing from one thing to another. Instead, I find myself pausing — to watch him blink, to listen to his soft breathing, to feel his tiny fingers wrap around mine.

And in those pauses, I feel something I hadn’t felt in a long time: stillness.

Watching him grow, inch by inch, day by day, has made me wonder — how often do we really notice our own growth? How often do we slow down enough to be present in our own journey?

We spend so much of life chasing goals, proving ourselves, worrying about where we’re headed. But somewhere in the chase, we forget to ask ourselves — how did it feel?

Because in the end, it’s not about whether we won or lost.
It’s about how it all felt while we were living it.

If you’re reading this and feeling a little lost right now — please know, you’re not alone.

I feel that too. There are days I question, wonder, and wait for clarity. But amidst that fog, there’s a quiet hope in my heart — that time, like my baby’s gentle pace, will unfold everything when it’s meant to.

So today, I invite you to pause with me.

Notice something soft.
Breathe in something slow.
Feel whatever you’re feeling without rushing to fix it.

And remember — you’re growing, even on days it doesn’t feel like it.
Especially on those days.

With warmth,
Sonam
