Unpopular opinion here- I love quarantine life. I have had no choice but to slow down. I do things I want to do right now. I don’t have to go anywhere or rush to anything. I haven’t set an alarm in months. So much sucks about life right now, but slowing down has been wonderful!
I’m 76 next month and every day is slow for me, and has been for two years since my husband died. I made friends with being alone and home bound. I got a puppy.
1. Check in with your body 2. Start your day slowly and mindfully 3. Focus on the big picture 4. Limit your screen time 5. Savor small moments 6. Turn off the noise 7. Practice a hobby Your voice and the way you talk automatically calms my mind... 😁 Love your videos😋
LOVE! I gave up my career and fast-paced, ambitious life in NYC a few years ago to have a simpler, slower life in a small village in France. And I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I do! There really is so much happiness gained when we focus on those simple delights and that comes when we slow down and pause more in our everyday. I make videos all about slow living and joy; it's an important thing to think about in our modern age :) Thank you for your insight videos!
what a breath of fresh air to watch a video with NO stressful music drowning out the persons voice,, this is the tenth one i have watched tonight and the only one where i could relax and listen, the rest i had to cancel watching, thank you so much , good luck
As an introvert with not many friends, I find that social media has been a huge learning process for me when it comes to finding the right balance. My boyfriend currently lives in another state, and a couple of his friends (that he met through Discord) are mine as well. I will say what helps me the most with social media is clearing my browsing history, removing unwanted bookmarks or apps, or even just taking a full, one or two day detox if needed.
hi i started following you last week but I found myself doing already a lots of things you suggests without knowing. I really love your videos. My routine is not always slow but I try to improve during the weekend practicing yoga, going to my favourite market, and enjoying my kids. life is so short, we need to enjoy every moment
1 Check in with your body 2 start your day mindfully - ritual vs routine 3 focus on the big picture vs the minutia 4 limit screen time 5 savor small moments 6 turn off the noise - sit with some silence 7 practice a hobby
I wish i could accomplish slow living, i do try but its hard, perhaps this good vidro will help me to achieve my goal! Thankyou for this video as many tell me i should slow down, i must try even harder!
I love this video. I’ve been struggling with anxiety and feeling so caught up in my own thoughts, so it’s nice to hear some tips and think about the “bigger picture” in life. You’re content motivates me to appreciate life and the little things. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I try to live a slow and simple life but the last year I started suffering from panic attacks (I have no clue why) but your videos are calming and refreshing. 💜🌵🌞✌🏼
By far, your best video ever. I have been bingeing on them, and I love this so much, took down notes and will rewatch till I really live in them. Your youth does not define you at all, you speak with so much substance, ideas which I have not heard or listened to from my age and even older people than me. Keep it up, Ashlynne!
With the onset of covid-19 one of my personal hopes was that more people would gradually be reminded in more concrete ways about the preciousness, the brevity, and the beauty and contentment that can be found by living life in the moment.
You are so right. I also practise slow living. I became from a fashion victim to a slow living lover. I wish you a lot of success with your channel. Lovely Regards Annette
Thank you for publishing this video I really liked it it it taught me how to really to appreciate life and it's time that I start appreciating more of the little things then the things that I don't have but the things you don't have they will get them one day it takes time and it's time that I appreciate more silence into be presents into think more and smarter and also I want to join being sixteen so I can live my life slower and enjoy life so thank you for this video
Thank you for the video♥️♥️♥️♥️ for me slow living has been realizing how much I love paper and ink, and going back to writing my things in notebooks instead of on my phone. It’s a hobby for me, collecting different kinds of notebooks and paper, I get excited to write as I do to just draw, and it’s practical and beautiful. I’ve been feeling so happy since I started incorporating it into my days. It’s just me and my beautiful notebook, I’m thankful and I love and appreciate those moments. ♥️♥️♥️ thank you so much for the beautiful video! And how important indeed about hobbies! I do know people as well that don’t have any...I think it’s so important to try to enrich our lives with enjoyable and meaningful things to do. Thank you so much!!!!♥️♥️♥️
I was saving writing full time and traveling for retirement and I always try to look at what I've done so far and determine if it's really what I want. I worried about wasting time so I couldn't enjoy moments, but if I no longer do something - it was worth getting me here. I no longer believe in timeline checkpoints
That’s an amazing shift in viewpoint! And you’re so right! We can always wait longer to do those things, but we only have one life, so we shouldn’t wait until we reach at certain age to start enjoying life and doing the things we are passionate about 🤍
Very timely. I was burnt out. I have started to slow down since last evening. Due to my overwhelming stress in these times. Thank you for this video. Not related to the topic but can you please guide about those white wireless earphones? I plan to purchase them.
I think your content is really great. I know a lot of younger people talk fast these days. Would you consider the rate of speed in your speech? It's not that it's not understandable, but your content is on slow living and many of us need a place to come and listen with a slower, more soothing tone rather than an excited one. It's nothing personal like I said. Just a little bit of contractive critisim.
This is actually my goal! Slow living! Thanks for video! It is exactly what I’m going through right now.. plus, I’m tired of sooo much drama in the beauty community u.u
Really found your video's very helpful and the calm way you communicate everything. Truely has helped my life. Keep going. You could be helping others to change their mindsets which in turn could impact their whole lives from the ripple effect, like mine :)
Hey Ashlynne, could you do a vid on your plants: what kind they are, scientific name and nickname, plants similar to them, their benefits, and how to take care of each one? I just bought a few plants and some of them didn't even have the name labelled on them. So a video about your plants would be really helpful! 🌿
Great video. It's important to find ways to enjoy the little things:) I like the suggestion of a mindful morning and remembering to check in on your body.
LOVE! I make videos all about slow living! :) Time is my most important currency. So I practice slow living by saying "no" more! That looks like taking on less responsibilities, setting intentional goals based on my values, setting boundaries with my time and focusing more on what I DO have! :)
Whenever I begin to feel rushed in an activity I ask myself, "What is my intention?" This slows me down to enjoy the moment as it stands rather than speed through life without direction. A little bit of mindfulness goes a long way!
That's awesome Katia! And that's awesome you've recognized that! Also, know that I'm. not perfect at this either! 😅In as much as I try to regularly apply these tips. There are definitely times where I need to remind myself of them too! 🤍
new subscriber here! love your videos and i saw on your other video that you are starting to read the Bible. I love that. I love that you are not embarrassed to let people know that you are doing this. not all influencers come forward with their faith. my channel is about God and how He is helping me live an amazing life. my videos are homemade but I would love to collaborate with you. God and Mama mary bless you and your family.
Hey Ashlynne, great video! :) I was wondering if maybe you'd do a video discussing being content with what you have and where you are in your minimalism journey. A lot of times, I get so caught up in the end goal of where I want to be and the investments I want to make, that I lose sight of the actual goal in mind, end up spending MORE money than necessary at that particular time, and end up with more clutter than I need. Any tips or tricks???
Dear Ashlynnn, I love your content on slow living! However I am a person who greatly takes pleasure in small things, sunsets, coffee, books etc. But as a busy nursing student I have a difficult time slowing down. My mind is always a million miles a minute. I also understand that we share the Christian faith and I want to get better at slowing down. But when I do I struggle because I feel "bored" because I'm not actively doing something (or it doesn't feel that way). I want to enjoy silence and such but I'm struggling with that concept. How do I make it easier? Got any tips?
Ashlynne Eaton, what is your definition of a passion? My definition is an interest that engages your attention to the point where you forget about time itself.
I no I spend to much time on the phone. My husband gets made. I will try to cut that down.plus I spend to much time watching tv.I think I will go back to reading books.I need less.stressnin my life I feel it on my body.
What you normally do it you can't sleep at night ,I mean do you keep doing your normal morning routine the next day or you take the day off ,because I really can't sleep at night and I stay at bed until I get sleep and woke up at 17h 😞😨help me I'm super lost 😥
If I really can’t get to sleep, and occasionally that happens, I’ll set my alarm for an hour later. I still make sure I get up at a reasonable time, but I try to give myself a little bit of extra sleep on those nights 🤍
Thanks for sharing! Tips and tricks can only help so much! If you never feel like you have time, it might be helpful to try removing a few obligations from your schedule 🤍😊
I felt the same way. But I knew I wanted and needed to slow down. So I go to bed an hour earlier, so I can wake up an hour earlier. Having that hour in the morning really helps start the day with less stress. Try looking at how much time you spend on social media, watching tv, or even TH-cam (none of those are obligations).
I've been watching your videos for over a year. I've been a fan of your content. I'm disappointed that you haven't used your platform to support Black people and say that Black Live Matter. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Hey Sydney! I did actually talk about this issue in a community post in which I shared some of my favorite black creators, ones who I’ve learned from and have inspired me for weeks, months, or years. Know that absolutely I believe that black lives matter. And if you want to learn more about where I stand + what I’m doing I’d encourage you to read the post. Hope this helps! 🖤
Thought this was going to be a good video until you stressed me out by throwing a commercial right in the middle of it. Nice info but if you throw in commercials in the middle of your video each time, I’m going to pass on your videos. All the best to you👍

I’m 76 next month and every day is slow for me, and has been for two years since my husband died. I made friends with being alone and home bound. I got a puppy.
Thanks for sharing Sharilee! I love dogs and hope to get one some day 🤍
You are my hero!

You go Sharilee!
Dogs are great companions. ♥️

2. Start your day slowly and mindfully
3. Focus on the big picture
4. Limit your screen time
5. Savor small moments

I honestly wish there was more people like you more postive and happy friday💕
Thanks Cynthia and hap Friday! 🥰
There’s plenty white chicks exactly like this on TH-cam
I bet she loves comments like these! I know I do!
Ashlynne, thank you for sharing you thoughts with us 😊 I just found your channel, and I already enjoy my life more 😉

YES!! Love this! 🙌
I like to wake up early to enjoy the sunrise and my morning coffee
I eat slow and savor every bite/sip. Touch and feel my favourite crocery/cutlery. And also, attentively listen to the chirping of birds 🐦
Whenever I begin to feel rushed in an activity I ask myself, "What is my intention?" This slows me down to enjoy the moment as it stands rather than speed through life without direction. A little bit of mindfulness goes a long way!
Love your videos Ashlynne. My ex is from North Carolina & I've never been, but it's still on my bucket list!
Please share some of your embroidery projects😊
Thanks for these tips! ❤️
Hi Ashlynne great content thank you for the great tips.❤ My husband and I have slow mornings we lay in bed for a while and talk before we get up.
Hey Cathy! That sounds amazing! Christopher and I get up at a completely different times in the morning, but I love that idea! 🤍
Such an amazing video !! Thanks for the advice! Manny kisses and hugs from Greece ❤️
Thank you!! 🥰
This was so useful thankyou soo much ashlynne ♥️💯
So glad you found it helpful!! 🤍

Also, does the place where you live also matter?
I mean if it's a busy place, we tend to also be busy right?
Love this advice 💛
🤍🤍🤍
I always watch your videos and want to go outdoors but it is so so so hot where I live, and going out is miserable this time of year :(
Can you please do a video on how to get a minimalist wardrobe x
Love the idea! In the mean time, I’d check out my minimalist wardrobe essentials videos! They’re a great place to get started 🥰
Great tips!
Thanks Nikki! 🤍
Tbh I haven't been rlly loving life like I was 4 5 years ago
Love that Hygge book 😌
It’s such a good one! 🤍
Ashlynne Eaton, what is your definition of a passion? My definition is an interest that engages your attention to the point where you forget about time itself.
I'm just new to your channel and I'm loving it. How do you make your videos aesethic and what editing app are you using?😕
Hey Ciara! I use Adobe Premiere Pro with a Lutz to get the look you see in my videos. Hope this helps! 🤍
7 ways besides watching your videos?! No way!
Haha love it Demetri! 😅
I no I spend to much time on the phone. My husband gets made. I will try to cut that down.plus I spend to much time watching tv.I think I will go back to reading books.I need less.stressnin my life I feel it on my body.

Idk about anyone else but I feel like I don’t have enough time to practice slow living. Either that I’ve entirely missed the point 😅
Thanks for sharing! Tips and tricks can only help so much! If you never feel like you have time, it might be helpful to try removing a few obligations from your schedule 🤍😊

Does minimalism have anything to do with politics or stereotypes?
Humans are far too connected it's driving them crazy. Annnnnnnnd they're very alienated from each other. Figure that one out.

Speak slowly. Make actual sentences, not just one loooong sentence without a pause. Take a breath. Slow down. Practice what you are trying to preach.😿
Thought this was going to be a good video until you stressed me out by throwing a commercial right in the middle of it. Nice info but if you throw in commercials in the middle of your video each time, I’m going to pass on your videos. All the best to you👍
Every f..... Channel constantly Babels about skillshare. Will unsub People who have more than one video with that Long middle ad.
