Read the newest from my journal:
We live in a fast-paced world.
We’re always working.
We’re always connected.
We’re always scrolling.
We’re always looking at our phones.
Think about it…
Just by tapping, we can:
Get anything shipped to us in 1-2 days.
Request a car to pick us up in 2 minutes.
Order a meal in 5 minutes.
Answer an email from wherever we are.
Buy any item we want in the world every day.
Swipe and find a new date immediately.
A lot of these things are useful and make our lives easier.
It can also be exhausting.
Your work expects emails to be answered at all hours of the day.
Social media means staying in touch with everyone you’ve ever met from elementary school onwards.
The connections you make on dating apps are making you feel even more disconnected and lonely.
So you go on social media to feel better,
to feel more connected.
But here’s what really happens:
You forget what you’re doing half the time.
You waste hours of your real life everyday by living life online.
You feel you have to appease everyone by answering every notification the moment your phone dings.
You never have a moment to yourself.
You can’t focus.
You may feel like throwing your phone out the window!
It feels like your notifications are dictating the way you live your life.
But you don’t want to get rid of your phone.
It’s a useful tool!
It helps you stay connected and informed.
You want to take a break from it, but you feel anxious at the thought of taking any space away from your phone.
Sometimes you overuse it and forget what real life is like.
That’s why we need to revolutionize our way of life.
REVOLUTION or EVOLUTION?
An evolution is a slow movement.
I don’t expect you to get this right away. That’s why my guidelines include three things:
Compassion - to understand, forgive yourself, and treat yourself and others kindly,
Sustainability - practicing mindful habits that will be sustainable in your life and for the world,
Empowering - making meaningful and intentional choices for your life and the world around you.
This work will revolutionize your life.
Just like breaking an addiction, changing your habits is hard work, but it will revolutionize your life. If you want clarity of mind, more restful sleep, better quality relationships, and to change the world, it is worth it.
Slow Life Revolution
Integrating the intentional use and consumption of all aspects of your life: work, technology, love, movement, rest, food, sources, fashion. By living all parts of our lives slowly and intentionally we can have a more meaningful existence and leave the world a better place for future generations.
