The Importance of a Slow Living Lifestyle

When you say that you want to slow down your life, people often ask you what you really mean. Why does this slower lifestyle actually make sense? It makes sense because we rush from appointment to appointment, whether in our private lives or at work in today's daily routine. It's not the same every day. But if you think about how many appointments you have and how many commitments you have each week, you'll realize that these appointments completely define you.

What often happens is that we simply overlook or forget the really important details or an important date, such as a good friend's birthday. Of course, everyone has to structure their day and do their work, because this is part of our everyday lives. However, if everyday life takes you over completely and you no longer have any time for yourself and approach things with little mindfulness, you will eventually realize that this cannot be the right way to live.

The very tight schedule makes you tired and will exhaust you. If you want a slow lifestyle, it won't be about letting time pass uselessly. It's much more about being satisfied with a less than perfect daily routine, really spending time for yourself and doing something good for yourself.

7 Days of Mindful, Slow Living

The seven-point daily plan is just a suggestion. You will find out for yourself what works best for you, especially if you incorporate small silent breaks to slow down your daily routine. We can relax and slow down not only on vacation. In our everyday, very hectic daily routine, it is important that we schedule time to come to rest in order to be able to carry out sustainable and mindful activities that are only good for ourselves.

It's especially nice now in spring because we can sit outside again and enjoy the first rays of sunshine and we can finally wear our spring clothes and get back to our spring beauty routine and spring hobbies. Plan fixed times for yourself so that you can concentrate fully on your favorite activities. This will give you lots of energy for your everyday life and a slow lifestyle will help you to be very productive and creative.
