The essence of slowing down is to be present enough to see your path to peace, joy, and happiness. You can achieve this by consistently repeating these habits:
- Praying
- Meditating
- Gardening and spending more time in Nature
- Take deep breaths
- Get adequate sleep
- Exercising (running, yoga, martial arts, etc)
- Journaling and reflecting
- Clarify your intentions for the day
- Monitor and track what you spend your time doing in a day
- Spend time with your family and loved ones and be present
- Engage in moments of mindfulness (mindful eating, mindful walking)
- Listen with an intention to understand and learn and not just respond
- Prune your relationships and focus on those that you can add value and will bring value
- Cut down the amount of time you spend consuming content on social media or TV
- Track your feelings through the day and the thoughts and events that trigger those feelings
- Say “no” more to distractions or requests that don’t align with your goals. Filter by asking “Will this get me closer to my goal?”
