Slowing down life is totally the point. I'm so happy I was able to quit my stressful job this year. That instantly brought so much more quality and joy into my life. 🍀

[@MalamaLife]

good for you. happy for you.

[@vanconferenceinterpreting]

So much courage🍀 Your choice was brave and inspiring!

[@-FairyGodMother-]

That's very inspiring, even though we may hate our jobs it takes a big courage to leave it, I'm very proud. Also may I ask how you continue after? I got lots of things I want to quit but I look at the future and fear overwhelms me so I'm scared to take the next step, so I'd really love to know what happens after?

[@slownaturalliving3218]

@@-FairyGodMother- I was pretty scared too and it took me some months to take the courage to quit. In the retrospective I waited too long, because I had to bear an intolerable situation at work. Now I'm working self-employed and I'm running a small business. I'm making a lot less money now, but since I'm living minimalistic it's ok and my new quality of life changed dramatically to the better. I wish you all the best for your future. ❤

[@-FairyGodMother-]

@@slownaturalliving3218 Thank you so much, hopefully I'd be ready to make things right after the new year comes, my situation right now is very unbalanced, if I take one unknown step I'm already in a risk of falling so maybe I'll bare just two more months and make my move, thank you for your advice :)❤️

[@GrahamConnor]

The issue I have is that whenever something is made more "efficient", the assumption then turns to us filling up the freed time we then have to become more "productive" (i.e. busy), which defeats the entire purpose of efficiency. I love the idea of a slower life.

[@LaureninGermany]

Oh that buzzword- productive. That leads to burn-out for so many people. It seems to have become a competition.

[@reginebee2054]

I was living efficiently and multitasking for the rest of my 20s and felt proud about it for being a "superwoman". Turning 30, I realized that I wasn't the same as before, it's like my mind and body gave in and are facing the consequences that I'd done for those past years. It really took a toll on me and my well-being. With that, I am in a cycle of burnout this year. Mid 2021 I was at my worst state so I decided to shut off from the outside world because it was too overwhelming and take my time recharging until now. Taking my time to immerse myself within me, my hobbies and with nature. Taking my time to socialize gradually until I'm fully ready to interact with the outside world again. I feel much better than those past couple of months now. Slowing down is really important, immersing is essential and find meaning in things that I love to do is nutritious to the soul. Thank you so much Sophie for this video, it's nice to listen to someone who has the same sentiments with me :)

[@conkodo]

In a similar vein, I’m at the start of my twenties and have been living “efficiently”, keeping my grades high, and checking the boxes to date but I just got back from a trip to Colombia which forced me to slow down and upon returning I realized how much this fast paced results oriented lifestyle drains me

Everything you said felt like I was listening to me talk back to me. I literarily didnt buy certain electronics/ technologies so I can get closer to doing some things myself. Ooh the joy of simplicity and slowing down. It's healing , it's intimacy , it's wholesome and am glad many are beginning to see the allure . Thank you 🧡

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you :)

[@mariamart_0]

I trained my mind to live without a phone. and that was a year ago. The thing is that I lived with my Dad…and how many months I hadn’t use my phone and social media was 3 months! I learned how to live a slow-pace lifestyle and all I had to was eat healthier like some greens and fish, exercise thoughtfully, reading my favorite books, watching some retro movies and new ones, going outside to eat instead of indoors, meditating, yoga exercises and socializing with people. And the last thing I DID was valuing time with my family ❤️~~ :) and better sleep habits like going to bed early instead staying up on instagram scrolling on the celebs newest posts on their story…I felt more happy and I enjoyed life instead of feeling anxious and stressed~…

[@laraimperiano]

It’s so comforting finding people like myself on KZbin. I used to feel so lonely in those thoughts. Thanks for sharing this

I needed this video so much, thank you! ''My whole life I've been rushing from one task to the next one, but I've ended up exactly where I'm supposed to be - not a single day ahead or a single day behind'' - there's so much depth and complexity in this sentence, but it's also soothing. Modern society pushes us to be productive and efficient beyond our limits, making us feel guilty if we ever start questioning this system and wondering if there's more to life. What most of us (if not all) want is simplicity, joy, and peaceful moments with our loved ones, yet the system tricks us into thinking that we can only reach our full potential if we always want more and more.

Never too late. If you still have air in your lungs and blood in your heart you still have time…

[@delpierro0815]

Good points, I fully agree. All that efficiency and the desperate try to squezze more output out of our time makes our life as tasklist where you just make checkmarks and in the end nothing had meaning, nothing to remember. And time flies faster even though you think you get much more done. Sometimes I think we try to match the speed of the electronic tools that help us - a battle we can't win. So we shouldn't even try.

[@MalamaLife]

yes! I'm always trying to catch up to the tech speed, but always feel like I'm falling behind

[@elzbietakaczmarczyk1371]

I remember one of my colleague saying "give time to the process". You are saying the similar thing. I like this statement very much. It means to me being patent and tasting every moment. I've been trying to do it more recently and I feel much better. I feel that I have a life now. Thank you for this video. It was very valuable.

[@MalamaLife]

[@dianaroseitableorilla3135]

This 😭 lately, I've been rushing myself to do stuffs and I really felt horrible. Now, I realized that it is okay to take time in doing things, because it is what I am accustomed of, even if I am from the generation of tech savvy people. The message of this video made me feel calm, and tapped me in the back and saying, "Do things slowly if it makes you comfortable, you don't need to be in a rush always, as long as you have time, you'll be okay."

[@MalamaLife]

Such a good way to put it 🙌

[@ymzkk97]

I now feel that I’m not the only one that have this kind of perspective in life. At a very young age, I always have a slow-paced life and thought that it’s a sign of being lazy. I don’t do everything in one day because it doesn’t bring me happiness. I always make sure that I have allowance for rest and enjoy random things that I want to do at the moment. I’m not into collecting achievements and get them as fast as I can, but I’m more on enjoying the moment and my journey 🙂 Thank you so much for reminding that life can be enjoyable this way ❤️❤️❤️

All that glitters is not gold - just because we're told that technological "advancement & progress" is a good thing, is it really? What have we lost as humans? What have we *truly* gained? A return to basics and simplicity is being discovered by so many. The farmer's market is not only a fun experience - you are supporting local PEOPLE, not corporations. You are investing in your community instead of convenience, efficiency, and "progress." Thank you for sharing

It all depends what is more important to a person. Some are obsessed with reaching success, and that is what they have to do to get there. Others like to have time for family and friends, and I think that both are ok (as long as it is healthy). It really depends on your personality

I have only just watched this Video and want to thank you so much for it Sophie. I’ve recently come back from a ‘city-break’ and could almost feel that the busyness was not for me, but couldn’t voice it to my family member who allowed to me stay with her for free as the host. For me, the rushing makes me feel unwell and as if I can’t stop the cycle of crazy merry go round that everyone else is enjoying. Your video was spot on for reminding me that I’m not alone in wanting this inner peace and calm. As an empath and someone who feels more sensitive to the environment and feeling than before, I want to get off the cycle of spinning wheels and your thoughtful video was helpful to me this evening.

Beautiful video. Your message of savoring the moment and taking more time to finish things than just speeding through is one of my strong values, but despite this, I feel like I don't think about it very often during my daily life when things are busy. I really appreciate the reminder to step back and not let our lives be dictated by technology and the search for the fastest way to do things, and you did such a good job of showing how you implement this in your life. I too love giving special, personalized gifts to people I care about and writing them meaningful letters, and it makes me feel so good when I receive something personal myself rather than something store-bought.

A wisdom that is unknown to the modern man...when you realize doing nothing, meditating, spending time in nature or just laying at home is blissful you have attained a certain level of wisdom...that few people of the western world understand...most people hate to "lose " their time or to be in silence because they dont want to face their true selves...that has been repressed their whole life...

Wow, your video was so inspiring for me! It's the first time I hear the 'efficient life' collocation.. and the timing is so right for me, as I'm starting my first workdays of 2022 already stressed that I'm late with delivering some tasks. It definitely leaves me thinking about what should or shouldn't happen for me to feel less tensed up and more in peace with the pace I'm going at my work. I feel like the corporate environment doesn't appreciate if you cannot keep up with their pace, cause you if don't... you won't receive a raise/promotion, your employer won't be pleased, you will be stuck in the same job position for longer than you should, cause if you don't pursue promotion and don't work on your self-development than you're less valuable, than you're wasting your(their?) time... Ughh.. It's interesting what limiting beliefs it brought up for me... Even seeing it now black on white leaves me disappointed with myself.. and I tell myself: "okay, have more compassion for yourself".. If only for a corporate self-development environment my pace, which I would prefer to be much slower, was enough.. Maybe it's enough for them, but not for me?... Anyways :D Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It was much needed for me today! 💜 P.S. Your voice is so soothing!

Being efficient is a great idea for a machine, for a human being it is being conscious, living fully in the moment... For a better humanity, it is time to escape from that trap. Thanks for this wise video 🙏

This video couldn't have a better timing & gave me what i needed to hear the most ❤ as someone who's not efficient according to the society's norms because i prefer to live a slow life just like you while also working on something meaningful that takes time , your words were so comforting & reminded me why i'm making the effort in the first place ! I'm trying to embrace the ''progress over perfection'' mindset & learn how to enjoy the journey instead of rushing the resluts or abandoning out of frustration..seeing how you could balance a slow paced life with doing a meaningful work inspired me tremendously so thank you soo much Sophie you're a Gem ✨ ❤❤
