Live More by Doing Less | The Philosophy of Slow Living

Terimakasih

Doing less is doing less, doing more is the cause of planetary degradation.

i take the weekends and my paid holidays ‘slowly’,lazily 😅 i’d be much slower when receiving an annual of 6million yen of dividend 😅

Cultures that reduce people to an economic reality of scarcity, and commodify everything are bound to exclude this as a possible way of approaching life. Sad modern times.

I arrived at this realisation in my late ‘60s and am now an active participant in slow living. I’ve prioritised living in the slow lane allowing me time to think, to appreciate the small things in life and not feel the need to take part in the race of life. I now have as much time as I want to do satisfying and enriching activities often from the comfort of my bed. I think lots of people think that I’m simply lazy not realising that I am actively living my best life. Get off the treadmill folks it frees up energy for critical thought and prioritising what is important to you.

Great , that's the way I like to live nobody understands , and don't that's the the understand and be full time, conscience, and emotional on a place

Really good content

Reminds me of the movie “About time”. Where he has the power to go back in time (time travel), until he no longer does it, because he learned to appreciate each moment of life as it passes by..

The books masterpiece of slowliving by haemin sunim.

1. The things you can see when u slow down.
2. Love imperfect things

Thats the problem people don't want others to live as they wish. They want to control denial use manipulate. Those types of people have no life

This channel is so helpful. I have the mind of "you'll die, and maybe it could be now, tomorrow or in a few decades", but I think I fail to manage it and it ends burning me out. I have a full-time job, want to study apart and make a startup with my friends; also, I want to have free time after work so I can go and hit gym, be social, drink a coffee, walk...
I want to do everything at the same time to do it soon, so I can "live" a life you'll remember by doing things that people recognize. And that's the issue, PEOPLE recognize, not me at all. If u tell me, I'm seeking for tranquility, travelling with my motorbike and spend a Sunday with friends & family, because we take nothing to our tomb except experiences.

It's so hard to act on, but I love this philosophy <3

Pro tip: watch at 2.0x speed. Bend my ear in half the time. A better quote from Thoreau is "Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify."

Thanks!

Rushing into the future and racing against time doesnt much of a livin..u missing the good things in life..but i cant blame other people for their everyday hustle..gotta support and save for their kids..and gotta pay the bills rent and food and such..not all of love working 12 hrs a day..some are sick of it..but gotta keep goin.

THIS IS SOOO SCIENTIFICALLY WRONG,
like you literally experience time going slower the faster you move and higher elevation. This guy literally has no concept of what hes talking about. Dont waste your life with this "slow living" garbage. You literally have one life

pro tip: watch at 2x speed to save 8 minutes!

A great book to read about slow living is Tom Hodgkinson's How To Be Idle (Lof der Luiheid). He also wrote another book about slow parenting. Read them slowly :-).

I lost my first job to being too slow and my second job to being too sloppy. I didnt like the work and found a very different and better job. When I got fired from that one I took a lot of time off to pursue a creative goal: making a card game for the ipad (no longer in store, it flopped). And for the past 3 years I have had a new job and worked 3 days per week. Less is invariably more.

Once more I now have a creative project, making a video game. Right now my main goal is to be mentally less distracted and more mindful. This way I can be more productive without the exhaustion or boredom of working too long.

Slow living is real living.
Be like water.
Flow.

Retired?

Every time I spend a week rushing and doing a lot I end up sick the following week. Having too much to do damages immune systems so now my current mention is doing a lot less literally having more down time to actually just chill and do what I love slowly.

Doing nothing is my favorite thing 😌💥💯❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👍🏾

When you watch it in 2x speed

Life is a marathon, not a sprint ~ The Corporatists would have you believe differently of course

If your peers look down on you because you are not pursuing two careers simultaneously and working 16+ hours a day, block, unfriendly them and tell them to F off.

This video is what I needed now.
I lost two very close friendships due to some actions I can't take back.
While learning and practicing the philosophical tools and trying to focus on things I enjoy, I tried too hard to focus on the things I enjoy and forced myself a bit too much to nurture my other relationships, and I felt I was not doing enough. But this video helped me return to the present, reminding me that every moment is a moment to enjoy, regardless of how simple or complex.

this was very pleasant to listen to. thx

I was gonna crash at mingled up the front of my car like at and my husband drove it home rather than higher tow truck lol it was just a mile away thankfully though, but it drove. I’m so glad to see the Crash detection actually works.

This is beautiful. I needed this. Thank you sir and keep up the great work 🤘

Although being wealthy and having the financial means to travel extensively, the artist Andrew Wyeth chose instead to have a deep, intimate, and lifelong relationship with the people and environment confined to just two ares, Allen Island off the coast of Port Clyde in Maine and Chadds Ford in south eastern Pennsylvania.............. Quality over Quantity.

Thank you for sharing this. I started to realize how impatient I was when I started gardening. A small goal is to eat as much veggies from my garden as possible. Yet I became impatient when thinking about what veggies to sow. When the seeds were sowed, I couldn't wait for them to grow. Then I transplanted the seedlings too early (for many times) which led to plant death sometimes. I realized how the society functions, which is to make everything at your fingertips. It's sad you don't need to take care of your plants to have beautiful flowers. All the time, you are giving away for other people, for the purpose of merely surviving.

If you believe in rebirth, then why worry ? Take it easy for you'll have many more lives to fulfill your wishes of things you want to do. You'll have an eternity of lifetimes!

This is ❤

Years ago when I was in college, my cousin & her friend came to the city where I was for summer holidays, one day we decided to visit a famous historical place with ancient building, both of them is super excited they were bubbling with joy, I thought they were really excited about the place so I'm happy along, even with the super hot sun (being in tropical country) they both insisted on wearing their 'beautiful clothes' & spending hours on dressing up & do make up, by mid morning almost noon the temperature already very high but again we take public bus, I'm still going along😅 with idea that they're really excited to experience.

Long story short despite some unpleasant things along the way, it was fine for me no big deal.
We rushed to the place after
bought tickets (it's not cheap but not expensive either) I've visited before so after enter the garden area even though there are lots of tourists it was quiet & peaceful with some corner there's calm traditional music is being played. Also I don't like going out on hot days but at that time being in the garden I feel everything slow down & enjoying it, but I still bring the 2 new people to the main attraction area, my mind already prepared being a guide & ready to tell them the story, but in the end we just rushed there taking pictures here & there - both update on the social media, it's just several minutes in front but both of them already lost interest & doesn't want to continue looking inside or around, they said "it was just like that & it's all similar", so we rushed again to shopping area outside & food area too cooling down bcz they don't want to holding anything heavy except the camera not even hat, ☂️, drinks etc only me bring it. But they lost interest soon .. again!

So just like that we're rushing back, after back at home, they're complained about the hot weather & too lazy to cook/walking 100s meter to eat out, so we order online delivery for lunch, after that while eating both continue spending hours looking through all the pictures- edit some for social media etc, the expensive' & delicious food is nothing anymore. 🤐

At that time I said both of you are crazy girls, my cousin just laughing & said this is reality nowdays being in fast paced society, after that I don't care about them anymore when they're interested in new attractive place even though I'm interested I decided to not go & just help them with everything else then leave them to go on their own as long as they sent safe message 😶😅

I was just teen then still enjoying life, my adult life doesn't really start yet, I thought being an adult is really unpleasant. My cousin spending money 🛫 far away for the supposed relaxing holidays, spending again here & there during holidays but doesn't want/even bother to look at the place & enjoying it, spending money for everything instant & quick.

In the end of the day, only 4 or 5 pictures remain from that holidays - posted online but not happy about it either, and then back to work again rushing to make money... 💆

What are we rushing for, like can we slow down on some things, aren't all the technologies meant for make our life easier - saving lives etc? We rushed on every things which makes almost every aspects of our life getting easier but our mental health is decline.

What if you lose shelter 😢

This is beneficial material. A similar book I read was also full of benefits. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash

As im living in urban area in india
I started slow living as i bought some garden accessories and planted few seeds to watch them grow, with some fishes living in lily pond.
And literally felt that im part of them.
I can see happiness in them , plants wait me to water and fishes wait me to feed them pure joy to connecting nature ❤
You will se the magic of nature

Thanks! For me it’s one of the best videos on this topic. Most of the videos just provide tips which put boarders on a person, whilst in this video you describe the whole idea, so that each individual can implement this principles regarding to their personal features❤

Why would I want to live more? I want to make it as short as it could be. Just live today and die tomorrow.
