Lately I've been walking and talking more deliberately. For quite some time I've had this feeling that my pace was off, like I was rushing things. I don't normally talk fast, but I would find myself rushing into or out of conversations with people which of course makes everything superficial. There's a guy I work with who speaks too quick for me and half the shit he says goes over my head. I don't think that fast.
For a time I felt like I had to walk at a brisk pace because I felt like the clock was always ticking and I always had to get where I was going as quickly as possible.

Now I stroll more casually and everything seems to flow better for me. It feels more natural for me. That said, if I'm being chased by some homeless guy who wants to fling a plastic bag of his shit at me, I might pick up the pace a little. That's actually happened.

What's your speed? Are you a fast talker and walker? Have you experimented with finding a pace that fits you better even though it doesn't fit your environment?
I'm sure some of you have jobs and families that force you to go at breakneck speeds, luckily for me I don't have that, maybe occasionally at work. Maybe your too fucking slow and need to pick it or get out of the way!

I'm really trying to stick to speed limits as well and I find it interesting how I don't lose a whole lot of time during my commute when doing the limit or just a little over.
