I’ve written recently about this exact skill (moving at a sustainable pace) and how underemphasized it feels in modern life.

Setting that aside, what really stood out to me here is the nervous system piece. I sometimes wonder what the long-term cost is of constantly ushering myself forward with urgency. Even without hard data in front of me, it’s hard to believe that living in a perpetual state of “hurry up” is neutral for the body.
