    Slow living is about doing everything at the right pace instead of rushing. It focuses on using time efficiently to do what is most important rather than losing time by going slowly. While it is similar to simple living which focuses on reducing materialism and consumption, slow living emphasizes balance and managing time well. Slow living rejects the idea that being busy is necessary for success and instead values being present in the moment and quality over quantity. It is not about achieving an idealized aesthetic lifestyle portrayed on social media. Slow living can help strengthen relationships by reducing stress and allowing for better quality time. It is also not anti-technology but rather uses technology as a tool rather than being controlled by it. Some ways to start slow living include understanding that bus

    Myths and facts
    about Slow
    Living
    #1: Slow living is
    about doing
    everything as slowly
    as possible
    Slow living is not about living your life in slow
    motion. It’s about doing everything at the right
    speed and pacing instead of rushing. Slow
    living isn’t about losing time by going slowly;
    it’s about gaining time by doing the things that
    are most important to you.
    #2: Slow living is
    the same as
    simple living
    Simple living is more focused on things
    (materialism, consumption, etc) and slow living
    is more focused on time (energy, balance, etc).
    Some of us choose to take the best of both
    worlds and live slowly and simply.
    #3: Slow living
    means living
    better, not faster
    Slow living denies that being busy equates to
    being successful or important. It means being
    present and in the moment, it celebrates quality
    over quantity.
    #4: Slow living is
    an aesthetic
    One of the big myths of slow living is that it’s
    simply an unachievable aesthetic of cozy,
    neutral tone home decor and clothing posted on
    Instagram with desaturated photo filters and
    tagged #slowliving.
    Slow living isn’t the staged, “perfect” images
    you see on Instagram and Pinterest.
    #5 Slow living
    helps in building
    stronger
    relationships
    Reducing stress, reclaiming your time and
    living mindfully can help improve your quality
    time with loved ones
    #6: Slow living is
    anti-technology
    Slow living isn’t about traveling back in time.
    It’s about using technology as a tool instead of
    technology using you.
    5 Ways to Get
    Started with
    Slow Living
    1) Understand busyness and
    recognize that it is a choice
    “Busy is a choice.” — Debbie Millman
    2) Define a purpose and
    what is most important to
    you (the essentials) and
    recognize that it is a choice
    3) Say “no” to everything
    else (the nonessentials)
    Once you start saying “no,” you can say “yes” to the things that matter most to
    you.
    4) Practice being present
    Break free from the unconscious default setting of your mind and start
    awakening to the present moment.

    “Do what you’re doing while you’re doing it.”


    5) Adopt a slow information
    diet
    Apply digital minimalism or a digital declutter experiment to digitally detox
    your life.
