A mindset

Less haste

Deliberation

Consciousness

Living deeply

Unhurriedness

Intentionality

A lifestyle choice

Seeing the scenery

The pace of nature

An unbusy lifestyle

Caution in deciding

Voluntary simplicity

A minimalist lifestyle

Doing less, but better

Against faster is better

Hearing ourselves living

Slowing down life's pace

Living better, not faster

Caring more and caring less

Enjoying the moment we’re in

Being present and walking away

Taking time to smell the roses

Being present and in the moment

Purposeful and fulfilling living

Moving or operating at a low speed

Doing everything at the right speed

Pacing, being steady and consistent

An organic and natural way of living

Decelerating the pace of modern life

Not always racing to the next moment

Balance, ease, sanity, and low stress

An organic and natural way of wellbeing

Slowing down and taking care of ourselves

Fighting back the status symbol of busyness

Never being so busy as to not think of others

Not treating everything in life as disposable

Embracing the fact that we’re not doing it all

Having the sense of where we are going and why

Stepping back strategically, not shutting down

A set of values that says faster isn’t always better

Structuring our life around meaning and fulfillment.

Doing our own thing, in our own time, at our own pace

Connection with ourselves, those around us, and the world

Having intentionality and consciousness in our activities

Doing the important things and forgetting those that aren’t

Living slowly, in whatever and however way that means to us

A curious mix of being prepared and being prepared to let go

A less-is-more approach, focusing on the quality of our life

Consuming less and taking a slower approach to everyday life

Living in a more balanced, meaningful, and life-affirming way

Nourishing and savouring the minutes instead of counting them

Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them

Taking a long-term view of our own life and the world around us

Quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting

Intentionally placing our true values at the heart of our lifestyle

Creating opportunities to disconnect, slow down, and be more present

Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible

Fighting back against the current state of busyness and time poverty

A lifestyle emphasizing slower approaches to aspects of everyday life

Instead of striving to do things faster, focusing on doing things better

Taking a step back and enjoying life being conscious of sensory profusion

Switching off autopilot and making space for reflection and self-awareness

Celebrating quality over quantity, living with intent, being conscious and considered

About well-being and doing everything as well as possible instead of as fast as possible

A way to connect with our surroundings and take time out of life for a peaceful existence

Escaping mindless scrolling and unproductive multi-tasking and focusing on purposeful action

Forging a more balanced, healthier, happier, and more humane relationship with our technology

A life philosophy, a state of mind and being, a reflective approach, and methodical process to daily life

Slowing down, doing less, and prioritising spending the right amount of time on the things that matter most to us

A mindset whereby we curate a more meaningful and conscious lifestyle that’s in line with what we value most in life

A lifestyle which encourages a slower approach to aspects of everyday life, involving completing tasks at a leisurely pace

Knowing and passionately loving the things we value, and designing our lives to spend the most time possible enjoying them

Living in self-awareness and making conscious, purposeful decisions for the benefit of our well-being and that of the planet

Slowing down enough to enjoy our life, from how we eat our meals to the way we get to work, how we see life to how we spend our free time

Letting go of the excess stuff in our homes, learning how to live purposefully, getting in touch with our personal values and choosing to put them at the centre of all that we do
