Introduction by Eitan Battat:

“I’ve mentioned in my last episode that I am slowing down. Yes, I am.

Our chaotic world is stuck in ‘fast forward’. We’re trying to cram so much into our day as Carrie Fischer and I’m quoting:

“Even instant gratification takes too long”.

Slowing down involves savoring the small moments, taking a deliberate pace in daily activities, and finding joy in the process rather than rushing toward the end goal. It’s a mindful approach, emphasizing quality over speed.

In his Ted Talk, Carl Honore’ says:

We used to dial and now we speed dial.
We used walk and now we speed walk.
We used to read and now we speed read as well as speed date.

I’m reading Carl’s book – the Slow Fix and I will share more thoughts, ideas, and nuggets from that book as you continue to listen to my program. So, I am truly discovering my inner tortoise. What does it mean daily?

I’ll tell you what it means. It means waking up earlier, so I have more time to eat my breakfast slowly sitting down and not standing.

It means I may take a longer road to work. Not the longest. Just longer.

It means I may not seek the shorter lane in the supermarket or on the road. Been there, done that!

And please take me off the fast lane.

So as always East to West program will have some ‘slow jams’, music to shift down and slow your pace so you can truly enjoy the music, be mindful and nurture your soul.”
