From adjusting little habits and making small lifestyle changes in our everyday city lives, we can live slower and develop more presence and awareness in each moment. One of the biggest misconceptions and trends I've noticed about those in the slow living lifestyle is that you have to live in nature or the country to TRULY live slower. (bring innnnn COTTAGE CORE lol!) Not at all! You can choose to live in a major metropolitan city and thrive in a 9 to 5 job and STILL adopt a slower, more present life. I hope my little slow living tips (working a traditional 9 to 5 job, your daily commute, adjusting habits, and understanding your core values, etc) inspire or uplift you to slow down and notice the simple joys of your everyday. For me, slow living is really about understanding what you deeply desire and value in life and then cutting out what isn't necessary...what doesn't serve YOU. Essentialism, really! Wherever you are in the world, I hope you are inspired to notice the small, simple joys and appreciations all around you - they are everywhere. :) ♥READ ABOUT MY EXPAT LIFE IN FRANCE https://helenawoods.com/category/expa... ♥HOW I FILM MY VIDEOS Tripod - https://amzn.to/3fTJBIL Camera Body - https://amzn.to/2UZlS0U Lens - https://amzn.to/3aClDzJ Microphone - https://amzn.to/3dQ9IQA Vlogging Camera - https://amzn.to/37ZCpbo (Travel) Vlogging Camera - https://amzn.to/3dQvF1R ♥ Books I Love » Desire Map (workbook to help you discover your values) - https://amzn.to/3eRdQQW » Silence in a Noisy World - https://amzn.to/3eWsIgA (mentioned in video) » Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life - https://amzn.to/2S9nW68 » Untethered Soul - https://amzn.to/2N8Zejg » Surrender Experiment - https://amzn.to/2AM1ydr » Chasing Slow (book that inspired my slow living journey 4 years ago!) - https://amzn.to/3fCnOFu » Loving What Is - https://amzn.to/3f1bGyr » Digital Minimalism - https://amzn.to/3fzOJ4D » Power of Now - https://amzn.to/2YJxyqF ♥ WHERE TO FIND ME » Read my blog - https://helenawoods.com/blog/ » Instagram -   / mshelenawoods   » Shop my life - https://www.helenawoods.com/favorites » Pinterest -   / mshelenawoods   » Facebook -   / helenawoodsphotography   ♥ My Favorite Things That Bring Me Simple Joys!
