1324 || slow living as a resolution

JULIE MERICA
About this episode

"Slow living is a conversation inherently steeped in privilege. “So many systems are stacked against members of our society who are, in theory, desperate to slow down, but the structure of capitalism is built around burnout and scarcity,” explains DeVos. With this in mind, let's consider some strategies for practicing slow living in your life:

  • Take it back to the origins of the movement and focus on food. 
  • Schedule breaks.
  • Live mindfully. 
  • Set boundaries.
  • Do what you can, where you can."
