Sometimes when one's life is moving too fast it needs to be
slowed down. However, realizing the speed of one’s life is not an easy task
when the speed is above normal. I know this first hand because I’m going
through it now. I’m slowing down my life from the intense speed it was at. When
everything is fun and games it’s hard to get serious for those necessary
moments because mentally you can be unaware of realizing when it is time to get
serious. The name of the technique used to switch from being serious to having
fun is called “code switching.” I learned about this term in high school, the
literal meaning comes from being able to switch languages within a
conversation, but if you analyze the meaning a bit more and think about it, the
body is a language as well. We all code switch because very few people act the
same way they do outside and inside of a place or home. It is a natural trait
most people learn at an early age. Having a fast lifestyle paralyzes this
ability because a certain kind of action begins to stick with an individual, making
it hard to switch personalities back and forth for certain occasions. Code
switching is essential for obtaining different connections such as jobs,
learning opportunities, friendships, and even life lessons. However, all of
these could be lost if your lifestyle is moving too fast. Moving too slow has
its consequences as well, so a balance must be maintained in order to progress
sufficiently in life. As difficult as it may seem my readers, once you find
that balance and get used to that speed, in time it would become a healthy
habit and you will get further in life.
