Although the concept of "Slow Living" or "slow life" has existed since the 80s, in the last two decades there has been a considerable increase in people who have adopted this mindset for life.This is understandable since the speed at which we do things has increased dramatically today. However, doing things quickly is not always the best option, most of the time it is better to do less, and prioritize what matters in our life. In short words, slow living means living better, not faster, it means living with purpose and awareness. Know more in Slow Living .But how do we practically apply this in our daily lives? Although it seems simple, adopting this mindset can be very complicated. Especially now that we are used to a fast routine of life and work, and society is increasingly driven by technology. We constantly receive an excess of information and sometimes disconnecting and adopting new habits is not so easy. Here are our 4 ways to slow down our lives in a practical way:1. SIMPLICITY IS EVERYTHINGReducing and using what already exists is a great starting point. Living life more simply is the key to get free time for what matters. Prioritizing quality over quantity is the motto for everything we have in our lives, especially at home and inside our closets.2. MINDFULNESS WITH YOUR OWN HANDSDIY and manual practices are good for the mind and body. Building something from scratch, repairing something or learning a craft technique demands our time and concentration.
