Slow Living Tips to Slow Down and Enjoy Life Again

Turn off the TV, put your phone on, do not disturb, and unplug from social media. You don’t have to do anything with this new free time, it’s ok to do nothing and just sit in stillness.

Go outside for a fresh breath of air. Notice things around you. Walk slow, paying attention to your surroundings, notice how the air feels during your inhales and exhales.

Take out a pen and a paper and free write or sketch your thoughts and feeling, maybe you focus on things you are grateful for. Maybe you write down your affirmations, maybe you write a letter to your future self.

We are increasingly dependent on our phones and devices, and with a proliferation of social media channels much of our day can get sucked into a digital vortex of scrolling through posts or falling down online rabbit holes. Find a quiet corner or space to turn inwards.

Sit in stillness and meditate, giving yourself the time to sit with yourself, welcoming feelings as they come and go. If you have a meditation cushion, that’s great, if not, you can use any cushions to create a comfortable space.

The most important part of slow living is having an emotional and physical connection with others. There are many ways to strengthen your relationships with family and friends. You can text, email, write a letter, call, video chat or visit them face to face. Also, be sure that when you are spending time with your favorite people you are actually in the moment. The precious present.
