Slow life, slow this, slow that, slowing down — no, you are not supposed to turn into a snail.

And we can’t make the world reduce its crazy speed. Economics, greed, and human’s constant desire to advance tech and developments in all kinds of areas won’t listen to the many exhausted, burned out, and drop dead trying to withstand stress, hustle, and over-racing.

But what does the constant push and pressure do to you? It makes you sick and you want things and life to slow down a bit.

Given what we have turned the world into, an ever-growing and hungry for more planet, “slowing down” means to be aware of the harm the fast-paced world does to our health, the environment, and our future.

Slowing down means being able to pay attention to how you lead your life and how you see your future.

So, decelerating is not so much about all of us pulling the emergency brake of the turning globe, it is rather about your mindset, how you approach your life, and about taking time to reflect and paying attention to yourself and what’s happening around you.
