10 Practical Ways to Start SLOW LIVING (not just relaxing)

It has been a process to learn how to simplify my life. How to slow down when I was raising children and rushing from one thing to another. Becoming a minimalist was the first step to living a simple and intentional life. Over the last 15 years, I have learned how to slow down, and through minimalism began to simplify life. If you are a beginner to minimalism and slow living, I hope that these slow living tips will help you simplify your life.

What does slow living mean to you? How do you slow down and simplify life?

[luvtravel]

I feel the calmest when I have no plans, a loose idea of what I want to do. Plans stress me out and lately I’ve been decluttering my house and it’s the BEST feeling in the world.

This video is essentially a guide to healing trauma and the nervous system from abuses of this world and other humans. Take these steps she's teaching and you'll find restoration and wholeness; what we are all seeking and need.

I struggled for years to believe that I am enough. I am enough and the real freedom is knowing it for myself. That is real acceptance.

Thank you connie for calming my anxiety with your peacefulness

Staying in a basic routine helps me slow down and prioritize myself. Each morning my husband and I enjoy coffee or tea on the couch during the quiet.
I also love opening the window blinds to greet the new day which is lovely!
It’s become our start to the day.
Most evenings I always take a nice hot bath before bed. My family has been so kind, often asking me when/if I will be taking my bath so they don’t occupy the bathroom.
Having a bed already turned down for the night is wonderful to crawl into when we are so tired. I also have amber lightbulbs in our nightstand lamps and ceiling fan to keep the lighting subtle. Just sets the coziness. 😊

I find sitting in nature with just those sounds calms me down. Sadly it's hard to find places where your solitude is polluted by sounds of cars and busy life. This was super interesting. Thanks for sharing x

I also single parented while working full time for many years. It was quite a hectic lifestyle. Having gone on permanent disability seventeen years ago was a blessing in many ways. Since my nervous system is in a revved up state I get stressed very easily. I will at times say to myself; does this have to get done now or is this urgent. Watching lovely relaxing videos like yours are a true soothing balm for my soul. You are appreciated.
Love & blessings to you & all.

Thanks so much, Connie - I have just discovered your channel and I appreciate your videos. I recently moved to the gorgeous Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina and I am so enjoying slowing down and simplifying my life. I cannot believe how much joy I have found just by sitting in a rocking chair and observing God's glorious creation!😍

Hi mam, so happy for your way of living style which I can do only in my dream, as a Indian it’s difficult to follow such life style but I slowly changed this two years to minimalist slow life, my 2 nd days of periods I can’t even move but have to run as all normal day today work, luckily I’m a homemaker.thanks a lot for such a great thoughtful videos 🥰🫶

I can relate on so many levels! Giving yourself time and having a space with peace and serenity is priceless

[ReshmaKhan-jzqp]

Single mum here.... Doing everything for everyone for such a long time until my body just gave Adrenal Fatigue /Burnout is forcing me to slow down but the mind is racing. Adjusting to a new way of living isn't easy.... But it is a relief. I too am trying to lean into boredom 😊

[susanp]

so helpful to those who live in a big city.. Trying to carve out time is not easy while outdoors. i think I have the indoors heading in the right direction but the outdoors still needs a lot of work. lol.

7:47 “ I can’t give to those I care about when I’m depleted and exhausted myself “ very true, self care (physical, mental and emotional) is of utmost importance.
When depleted, burned out and exhausted we even can’t give to ourselves.
