Welcome to the Blog
A welcome to the blog
Welcome to the first of hopefully many blogs about slow cosy living, focusing on self-care, sustainability and slow simple living.
In our fast paced world , our hectic and busy daily lives can often overshadow our own wellbeing. The concept of slow living can help to remind us of the need to pause, and reflect and truly value the moments in our lives that really matter to us.
Some may feel that slow living is a trend- and they may be right- but it can be sustainable if considered as simply a way of living our lives. A way of re-engaging with simplicity, to reconnect with ourselves and those we hold close, and to encourage being mindful in our day to day life. How you interpret that is up to you. It doesn’t have to mean being deprived of the things that bring us joy, but rather ensuring we appreciate all the moments in our day to day life that nurture us and contribute to a truly joyful life. Perhaps the antithesis of the mass produced over consumed modern world.
The essence of slow-living is to be deliberate about our approach to life, to savour quality over quantity and to find the joy in the small things. As well as slow living I want to think about how we cultivate a culture of supporting small businesses. Those places that are authentic and bring a sense of community.
We will go on a journey together, exploring the principles of slow living, cultivating mindfulness and gratitude, to embracing simplicity in our homes, our travel and our daily routines. We will delve into practical tips to incorporate simple changes into our busy lives, reclaiming time and energy for the things, the people and the moments that really matter.
