DAILY REMINDER • 03 • LIVE SLOW

Living slow is a huge goal of mine, continually improving on and implementing these habits in more areas of my life. 

If you ask my wife, she’d say I can’t live any slower because to her I already move like a sloth. 🦥💁🏻‍♂ 

But living slow doesn't mean moving at a sloth's pace. 😏 

It means to lay and watch the clouds go by — to be intentional, live in the moment, not get caught up in a go-go-go lifestyle.

Here are some "live slow" items on my list for this year: 

• Be more intentional with the time I have with my wife and son. 

• Make more homemade items because it's better for me, my fam, our wallet, and the environment. 

These are items that typically come in packaging with a ton of unnecessary additives/preservatives/toxins - food and personal care items are the biggest ones. 

• Allow myself to be okay with not getting everything done on my to-do list if I'm not feeling up to it or if there's not enough time in the day. 

Those projects will wait until tomorrow. 

• Take time to go on walks and spend more time in nature to enjoy the little things. 

• Be more mindful - meditation and yoga.

• Know it's okay to not be okay and that days of rest are necessary.

The habits I've changed so far towards living a slower lifestyle have made life more enjoyable. 

There are more things to look forward to when I'm not rushing through the motions of life.
