Debunking Myths Around Slow Living

Is it spending your days curled up with a book in a cozy cottage? Living off the grid, away from the demands of modern life? Or maybe just sitting around, doing absolutely nothing?

Let’s be real for quick moment - when I first heard about slow living, I immediately pictured someone in a countryside cottage, sipping tea all day, completely detached from the chaos of the world. And honestly? It sounded dreamy but totally unrealistic for someone like me.

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. Many of us think slow living is only for people with endless free time or a perfectly curated life. You might even be thinking, “That sounds great, but I’ve got work, kids, and a never-ending to-do list—there’s no way slow living can fit into my world”.

But here’s the thing: slow living isn’t about escaping the chaos, doing nothing, or having hours of free time. It’s about reclaiming your time and energy, focusing on what truly matters, and creating a life that feels more intentional - even if you’re busy. Especially if you’re busy.
