Been dealing with anxiety for 23 years possibly more with counsellors, books, meditation yet when I listened to your Ted talk yesterday morning it struck a chord with me. All day as soon as I felt my body speeding up wanting high constant activity I slowed down did the opposite focusing on the breath walking slower deciding not to do something at that time. By slowing the mind down and relaxing unused muscles I was able to lift more and run father than I have in awhile when I visited the gym. When I noticed I wanted to run faster because I felt so good instead I slowed down and walked. I slept better last night than I have in awhile also. I wanted to write this last night but I slowed down and waited until today. You should resubmit this video under the keyword anxiety. I am sure others could benefit. Thanks for giving me a possible solution to being a calmer more productive person.

This Ted Talk struck a chord with me as well and your reply is exactly what I believe I am going through. I have been nausea and vomiting consistently for the past couple of months and I now realize it mainly occurs when I feel my mind or body speeds up triggered by anxieties usually in public settings. I am curious to know how you are doing today as you wrote this two years ago.

If you took meaning from Kimi’s Ted Talk I’d like to suggest a book for you to read which helped me also to slow down from my anxiety and depression. The book is called “The Power of Now” written by Eckhart Tollé. Give it a try.

We live in a generation that appreciates speed. As a result, we feel emotionally disconnected, stressed, and unsympathetic. Move at your own pace to discover this beautiful world. Your life and thoughts will be more purposeful if you slow down.

Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Rozardner Stopping Sounds Reality (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for how to instantly slow down music by software minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got excellent success with it.

I had seen this video 2-3 months back twice. I didn’t comment that time. I see many TEDx videos but for some reason this particular video remained etched in my consciousness ever since I saw it. I am a follower of slow down movement, sustainability etc and that may be the reason that I could relate to it at emotional level. But other than that few more things struck with me. It is extremely difficult to accept and realize that something is missing in our otherwise happy life with a good job, family and well to do wealth. So usually in fast pace of life, people do not give any chance to body or their own inner voice to say what they are happy with? or they are not able to hear that voice. Kimi could listen much earlier in her life and not just listened but acted on it by resuming her childhood passion. When her passion activity grew so much that it could have become her new career with all the new lime light. But she was so prompt to realize that this new competitive part of her passion (i.e. winning and defending titles) will lead to stress and the core objective of her passion - to get calm and tranquil - itself will be jeopardized. So she decided to quit the competitive part of the activity. It is extremely difficult to take such decision when you are at height of glory. That means disappointing many and you need huge courage to take such decision of turning away - fame, attention, opportunities, money, peer pressure and lot many things but she did it. That’s incredible. But she continued her passion in a natural way, where there was no stress of winning and defending. Rather is was for de-stressing. She also took opportunity to add a new life mission of finding sustainability and peace in two usually warring sides conservationist and hunters (which can be read as representatives of insane consumers, capitalist, or in short people insensitive to nature) Lastly, from where she must have got this courage and wisdom to listen to her inner voice and overcome various temptation. Possible reasons may lie in her humble childhood and values that her parents imbibed in her and off-course her own Karma. Overall a lot to learn from a short 20 mins video. We could also see a special calmness and a sense of fulfillment on her pace. This video and similar others should be shown in high schools and colleges where a entire generation in on the verge of a psychological epidemic that has been triggered by social media and all sorts of external stimuli. It is becoming difficult for people in general to stay at one place for more that 10 mins without any work… Lastly this video should be kept in mind for next few months when the world will see an insane frenzy if getting to so called “normalcy” post Covid lock-downs across the globe. We must remind ourselves in next few weeks and rather whole decade that “We need to slow down to continue to go forward”

Here in the time of coronavirus, and I really believe that this is something that people need to hear (and understand) right now. We have been given this opportunity to PAUSE, and even though I see a great many people finding a better path, there are also a lot of people who are feeling the need to speed up instead. I think this drastic situation merits a thorough rethinking of what economic systems and patterns of behavior (overconsumption, disconnection from nature and more) need to be changed. Thank you, Kimi, for finding the words that I feel will get through to people, and all in twenty minutes, too. You've always been a hero of mine ever since I heard about you, and I can't believe it took me this long to find out you had a TED Talk. Thank goodness for KZbin analytics.

Awesome message and talk Kimi! You capture the essence of what it means to be both a hunter and a conservationist and will hopefully help non-hunters understand why we do what we do. Your message about slowing down, and questioning the “societal momentum” that often pushes us in the wrong direction is a very important message especially for young people today. You are a great example of the importance of being confident in yourself, finding your own path and keeping with your values. This is going to be “required viewing” for my teenage children. THANK YOU!

I must say, that has got to be one of the most inspiring and intriguing discourses I have ever heard. I personally am an aquatic hunter and breath hold diver and can totally relate to kimi. I also have a profound passion for all things natural. God has provided mankind with an intelligence to know and understand his sovereign creation. But we must be good stewards of what we have been entrusted with, or we will suffer the consequences of our carelessness. To take a passage from the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, there is a time and purpose for everything under the sun.

I like Kimi's guts, and her story, and I can see that it's grown organically from her own upbringing. I am not sold on violence towards animals though, nor that spearing fish is the best way forward for all beings involved. Right now we have a world where there is too much violence towards animals, and individual hunters don't actually balance out an already severely tilted ecosystem. To be very clear, I think Kimi is offering a potential remedy to redress such a tilt, and responsible hunters like her aren't the reason for why we have a tilted ecosystem. Factory farming, is probably one of the key culprits there, as well a whole range of human greed driven practices. That said, I think a responsible hunting campaign isn't the best remedy. Right now grassroots campaigns to promote vegetarian living that is all natural is much more effective. Just my two cents, and I still think Kimi has her heart in the right place. Certainly her message of slowing down when we feel the need to speed up is on point.

We've always had a world where there is too much violence towards animals but if respected as she learned she should be doing and if a fish is speared then is used to feed hungry people how can you argue against that. It's just that now we also have the commercial factory farming bc ppl that eat meat eat too much and there are more people now so they rationalize raising animals this way and it's so incredibly cruel. But that is not the individual hunter. YOu are right it is a severely tilted ecosystem d/t greed of many at the expense of the few. No news there.
