In this week’s episode we unpack the notion of ‘slow’ living.
We discuss what it means, provide an aspiring definition thanks to our friends at the Slow Your Home podcast and share the successes and challenges we face when trying to bring a little more slow into our lives.
One of the biggest ironies of attempting to live a slow and more intentional life is not having the time to even think about it, and in this conversation we offer some tips about how to begin the process. These include just being aware of how ‘busy’ our lives can be and the negative impact this can have.
In this episode we invite you to find a little headspace to set some intentions and get clear on your own core values and goals in life, which is all part of living a more slow and intentional life. These are big topics and we have loads of people and places to inspire and help you in the process (see the show notes below).
We think this ‘slow’ chat is the perfect antidote to our last conversation about ‘busy’ and we’d love to hear your feedback over on our social pages at Facebook and Instagram.
As always you can subscribe via iTunes, where you can also leave us a review, or google our conversations via Anchor or on your favourite podcast app.
