The societies we live in these days, and especially in cities. We sometimes feel exhausted, anxious, depressed, and lonely in this ultra-productive life. What’s more, the constant fast pace can lead to memory and concentration problems. If you’re struggling to keep up, the slow living philosophy could be for you.
Slow Living is to do less in order to enjoy more. Instead of wanting to have multiple experiences that we only half-enjoy, slow living encourages us to simplify our lives and savour the present moment. It’s related to concepts of mindfulness and being fully present. Slow living can be interpreted in different ways, but the common thread is the idea of intentionality in what we do.
