Lying about your age gives the number a power it d Lying about your age gives the number a power it does not deserve.

It locks you into those downbeat stereotypes about ageing....

❌ “Wrong side of 40”

❌ “Feeling my age”

❌ “Can’t teach an old dog new tricks”

It’s time to cast these aside and free ourselves from the ageist script.

Let’s be honest about how old we are.

And celebrate our birthdays, instead of mourning them.

I'll go first.

My name is Carl and I’m 54 years old.

And I’m not just okay with that. I’m proud of it – and looking forward to whatever comes next! 🙏
It’s been a fantastic day delivering a talk on t It’s been a fantastic day delivering a talk on the art of Slow at the wonderful @sixsenses in Ibiza.

A glorious place to slow down, unwind and savour the moment.

I plan to return here later in the year to lead a Slow Retreat – watch this space!

I’m also in Ibiza this week to speak at Curiosas, which starts on Friday.

It’s a personal development conference for women. As the name suggests, curiosity is the central theme.

I’m a Slow Coach. That doesn’t mean I’m out I’m a Slow Coach.

That doesn’t mean I’m out there teaching athletes to run more slowly 😂

Quite the opposite.

Taking a Slow approach to life can often help you get to where you’re going faster.

The secret to Slow is doing everything at the right speed.

😌 Savouring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them ⏱
👷‍♂️ Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible ⛷

It’s all about quality over quantity.

You can apply the Slow creed in everything from work and parenting to sports and your social life.

You’ll find you get more done and to a higher standard – and that you have a better time doing it.
