“Come rest in rhythm. Breathe with the seasons. Reflect, feel, and simply be.”.
What is Slow Living?
In a world that constantly demands more— more speed, more noise, more doing, slow living is a conscious act of resistance. Instead of doing everything slowly, it is about living intentionally, with soul and presence. Inspired by the mentality behind ‘hygge‘ and honoring time as sacred, not scarce, slow living helps us reclaim our space, time, and energy. Liminal, gentle, honest.
This is for those who crave depth in every breath. For me, slow living isn’t an aesthetic; it’s a way of remembering what it means to be human.
Slow living can be defined as a state of mind. It is all about embracing simplicity, minimalism, and helping us savor the present moment. Once we practice intentional living, we learn to savor each moment and find inner peace amid the chaos. It is a journey of soulful connection, gratitude, and harmony, helping us discover a more meaningful and authentic existence.
This series was born from my need to make space for the in-between, the liminal, quiet, often overlooked moments that ask nothing from us except to notice them. I hope that, reading through these posts, you find a home for your tender heart. Seekers of beauty, the ones who feel too much and move too softly for this world’s pace— you are welcome here.
Slow living is in the way we choose a cup of tea over a rushed coffee. The way we walk barefoot on grass and let the morning light touch our faces without needing to capture it for a reel. It’s visible in the way we cry when needed, laugh when moved, and rest when tired.
“Slow living doesn’t require a cabin in the woods or a picture-perfect aesthetic journal. It simply asks us to begin right here and now, in the life we already have.“
How to live slowly
There are many ways to live slowly, and this series explores them all deeply. Here are a few gentle invitations you can begin with.
Noticing your breath. The temperature of your tea or the way your body feels after a long day. Bring attention to the small daily practices, to the day when you do every small thing with intention.
The liminal edges of the day— morning and evenings- hold immense magic. Hold a candle. Journal, dance with your favorite playlist, or immerse yourself in an Epsom salt bath…whatever you do, make sure it makes you feel magical.
Emotions do not need to be rushed or, worse, suppressed. Give your sadness a chair at the table, laugh loud and without guilt. Take time to name what you feel, no matter how long it takes. Naming our feelings and aligning our habits with nature make us ethereal beings, as nature truly intended. So plant ideas in spring, let go of things and people in autumn. Be silent and rest more in winter, and take off your reservations in summer.
Life does not require us to fix it or figure it out. Sometimes it just wants to be witnessed. Not every moment needs to be filled. Let there be a pause. Let silence speak. Let your presence fill space and live free.
Surround yourself with what soothes your senses— textures, lights, music, scents— curate your environment to reflect slowness, and as cause and effect, you will live with intention, and your life will reflect it.
This is a space where slowness is celebrated. Where feelings aren’t distractions but doorways. Where life is not a race, but a rhythm, and we learn to dance to it. Let this place remind each other that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. You don’t have to be perfect here. You just have to be present.
