Happiness is slowing down

stress, reading list, tips Add comments

Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slow, was a guest of Christine Louise Hohlbaum at the blog “The Power of Slow”.  Carl offered ten tips on how to slow down the pace of your life.  Here is that top-10 list: 

  1. Downsize your calendar. 
  2. Question your inner speed demon. 
  3. Take up a slow hobby. 
  4. Stop clock-watching. 
  5. Rediscover the joys of the table. 
  6. Take a walk. 
  7. Meditate. 
  8. Consider an alternative approach to your health. 
  9. Vacation slowly. 
  10. Turn it off.

It is comforting to know that I do about half of these. For more details on each of these points, you can read the interview here.

    I started working at home so I could slow down a little and still make a decent living. Since then mu little grandbaby comes to visit more often, my parents need me more, and my youngest son started college about 100 miles away and I take him there and back twice a week. So much for slowing down, I’m busier than ever! I do get more time for solitude though and it seems to help balance things out.
