Stop the chaos of life. How to slow down and live simply in a city. While living in a busy city I’ve found ways to simply live, slow down and be present. There are obstacles to living a simple life in a city, but there are ways to slow down and be present, always finding ways to be in the now. Mindful living can be done in a city, town, or rural countryside. Here are my mindful living tips on how-to live slowly with busy life tips. Simplify your life wherever you live by living intentionally and finding small, peaceful ways to live mindfully.

I'm a musician. It's precious to me to hear someone saying "I'm lucky to hear the music". That's great. Thank you for saying that.

As an elder, I choose to live in the city because it gives me easy access to the health services that I require at this time of my life. The city of Reno is not large, but it includes several large parks including an arboretum and a rose garden. Perhaps my favorite walk is along the Truckee River in the Riverside section of the city. In addition, we have an impressive library system and a small but mighty art museum. I'm glad to live in the city with all its resources. ❤

I indeed love your calming videos as well. Please remember to feed the ducks with seeds, as bread is very bad on their digestive system. Thank you.

Those are wonderful tips, especially since an introvert like me can sometimes become overwhelmed by the crowds, noises, and frantic pace of the city. I too enjoy the buildings, the large city parks, museums, and people-watching, but then I need to withdraw to a quiet place within or without. Your tips broaden my choices. Thanks Connie.

I think I have seen every video and I love your channel and everything you do. I have learned a lot from how you live your life. I did see a comment about the ducks and bread and I know about that too I used to give them bread all the time. I wanted to share this with you or anyone else that isn’t aware Thank you for sharing your life 😀 People also ask Can ducks eat bread? DON'T: Feed ducks bread or junk food. Foods like bread and crackers have no nutritional value to ducks and can cause malnutrition and painful deformities if consumed too much. DO: Feed ducks cracked corn, oats, rice, birdseed, frozen peas, chopped lettuce, or sliced grapes.

Yes, bread and other processed foods are not good for ducks, eels and fish even though they love them. When you feed animals these foods it also fouls the water and upsets the natural ecosystems.

My second love , like you, is architecture, beautiful museums, and cathedrals. We love discovering, new cities and towns as well. Thank you for your beautiful, insightful video!

My partner is from Johnson City and went to East TN State University there. He retired from VCU in Richmond and was going back when he met me! He stayed for 12 more yrs for me but now wants to go back home where he has family. That was the deciding factor. I had been from NY and spent 20 yrs in FL before moving to VA with my girls & their families after my husband passed. So another adventure awaits❣️ We are packed, (whew), and moving tomorrow!

I enjoyed reminiscing about walking through those parks and in the Marienplatz.

Hello Connie! Thank you for this wonderful video. I live in a city and I am absolutely desperate to move to the countryside, but when I get anxious about when I am going to leave the city, I simply take a moment and realize that I am letting my life pass me by while waiting for this desire to one day come, or possibly never come. You are right when you say that there are some things that you can only get in a city. I live in New York, and there is a lot here that you cant really get anywhere else, so while I wait for my possible oasis to come to me someday, I simply take a moment to notice the beautiful surroundings around me while I am here because who knows. One day I might leave and regret not being more present while I lived in the city.

Wonderful, you visited the Bavarian capital Munich. May be you will also come to Berlin - greenest capital of europe - you will find lots of parks and little places, especially in the city center when you leave the area of the Beandenburger Tor and Unter den Linden and stroll in the small streets or along the River passing Museums Insel up to Prenzlauer Berg. The eastern part of Berlin-Mitte is so much more interesting because it is so different to the western part. Enjoy your trip through germany ;-)

J'aime la ville pour l'aspect culturel mais j'apprécie le calme de la campagne. Munich est une très belle ville de Bavière, (4h30 de chez nous ). Le château de Neuschwanstein ( vers Schwangau , Fussen) à 1h45 de Munich , influencé par les opéras de Richard Wagner , a inspiré Walt Disney pour le dessin animé " The sleeping beauty". ..

Ducks should not be fed. The bread makes their stomachs swell and bread contains too much salt or sugar. Ducks also lose their fear of humans through feeding. This can quickly become dangerous for the animals, which can be killed in accidents on the road or by dogs.
