The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Real and Raw with Ben Taylor

Welcome back to Real and Raw with Ben Taylor. In this episode, Ben dives into his recent journey to California and how it sparked a deeper understanding of the balance between hurry and slowing down. Inspired by the book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, Ben shares insights on how society's constant go-go-go mentality affects us and the importance of decelerating our lives for true transformation.

As a self-aware narcissist, Ben aims to help people understand narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships, primarily working with women to regain their confidence and clarity. He also runs a separate group for men struggling with narcissism, guiding them through the same transformative journey he has experienced. Through his own story of personal growth and improved relationships, Ben emphasizes the power of truth and accountability.

In this episode, Ben discusses how his monthly trips to California for mentorship and coaching push him to develop and better serve his clients. He recounts his experience on a recent flight where a lack of internet access led him to dive into Comer's book, highlighting society's addiction to speed and the need for intentional slowing down.

Ben explores four key aspects from the book:

• Silence and Solitude: The necessity of quiet time for processing emotions and thoughts.
• Sabbath: The importance of taking a true day off for rest and recovery.
• Simplicity: Minimizing distractions and clutter to reduce stress.
• Slowing Down: Purposefully decelerating activities to foster presence and connection.

He reflects on his personal journey of eliminating hurry to be more present for his family as they prepare to welcome their second child. Ben shares practical steps and personal commitments to this transformative process, encouraging listeners to evaluate their own lives and embrace the power of slowing down.
