The Philosophy Of Slow Living | Live More By Slowing Down

In this video we explore the Slow Living Lifestyle and how to practice it, while discovering the philosophical ideas that have supported and inspired this way of living such as Stoicism and Taoism. Slow Living urges us to pause, breathe, and truly connect with our surroundings and ourselves, much like the Stoic philosophers Marcus Aurelius and Seneca advised centuries ago.

As a retiree the concept of slow living resonate to my goal of just enjoying the present moment

We have been trained or chained to move as fast as possible, making as little errors as possible. You cannot move fast without making mistakes. You'll miss all the good things trying to "reach your goal ⚰"....slow and steady.

Thank you. This is the beginning for me. I’m now practicing slow living for the 1st time in my life at 25. The time is now…

The message and the visuals of this video are beautiful. But ironically, it seems to rush along...all the flashing captions and twitching visuals overstimulated my head.

You can walk up and down a beach to follow the tide, or you can sit still and watch the ebb and flow, observe what happens around the the crashing waves, instead of constantly trying to keep your feet dry.

Really thought i was watching another Einzelgänger video. Really good quality, Solaris. The subtitles are appreciated very much as well.
As for the message, thank you for spreading it. As a highschool student, the thing that comes on my mind about this topic is my peers stressing over exams, asking when and how many? Meanwhile last time I had an exam I just went to chill in the forest and the next day once again had to speed bike to school because of almost being late. But that's just because I'm not worrying about being "productive" and thinking for the future.
Everyday is the same fine day. And preferably it's ought to feel present. That's why to me weeks often feel likes months.

Slow living is anti capitalism for wine moms and I'm here for it.

For some reason a couple years ago I started to just walk slower. And it seems like everything I do now has slowed down.funny how that came about 🤔

[@aNaturalist]

It was called simple living, and at times, voluntary simplicity. Is it just now that slow living is the more popular term? Is it more palatable to the middle class?
I know of one author who preferred the term voluntary poverty because marketers would not start using it as a catchy term, as was done with "simple living". Voluntary simplicity was too clunky.
Voluntary poverty can remain un-trendy, but it's a strong claim, and most of us living in ways of voluntary simplicity won't use it for ourselves.

The pace of this video doesn't match its message. Had to put this one on 0.5 speed for the message to resonate.
