There’s little dispute that we’re living in an increasingly stressful world. We’re connected every minute, trying to do more in less time, and the result is stress which compromises our physical and mental health. The list of ailments that can be blamed on stress is familiar and lengthy, and includes headaches, anxiety, poor concentration and insomnia among other things.
A recent Newsweek article looked at the move toward Slow Living which is described as “a movement that encourages people to eliminate external pressures that are fueling their stress, do things that make them happy, and most importantly, slow down the pace of life to be more present in every moment.”
It’s what baby boomers talk about all the time – fondly looking back at days when life seemed simpler, slower, there was quality time spent with loved ones. People actually visited one another unscheduled and spoke face to face. It’s a movement so many people have been craving and it’s paying off for those who are actually able to step back and enjoy even small moments spent with people you care about.
