Going slow almost feels like a sin. I had a very stressful and fast-paced job that took up almost all of my time. I didn't know how to wind down when it was time to relax. It got so bad for me that I was watching every KZfaq video at 2x the speed haha. I found that playing instruments slowed me down. Having to purposefully hold a fret on guitar or ukelele or pressing the correct key on piano made me consider my next move carefully.

If you come to Indonesia especially to Center of Java, the people are so calm and speak so soft and slowly. Sometime you will get surprise when you get there because time moves slow too hahaha... People from the big city in Indonesia come to Center of Java to enjoy the culture and living in there. You must try 😃

2:36 *1. Learn to say no* 3:47 *2. Turn off devices intentionally* 4:52 *3. Go slow and take time with everyday actions* 6:19 *4. Make no plans and set no expectations* 7:19 *5. Try making and creating* Great video, Christine! I've recently decided to adopt the slow living lifestyle, and what you share is very helpful. I have a tendency to want to push the limit, be efficient, speed things up. But I'm now experimenting with doing the opposite: do less, do it more slowly, but do it well. One thing I find that really helps me slow down is to turn off my phone at night and listen to a good podcast (which I downloaded before turning off my phone). It's a great way to unwind, I can even lie down and close my eyes. I do not allow myself to listen to any business-related podcast. Only storytelling, investigative journalism, or a podcast about meditation. So far, I'm really enjoying being slow! Thanks for the inspiration. 🙏🏻

I just found your channel and I'm so inspired. Everything is so minimalist, and neat, and... peaceful in a way I can't exactly describe

I’ve always leaned towards a slower living lifestyle: I walk slowly, eat slowly, shower slowly...I try to do my job slowly but it’s corporate and it’s always GO GO GO. I feel like i’m in a constant competition and trying to force something that isn’t me. I’m starting to feel like it’s not me that has the issue-it’s society.

Been contemplating life recently and how I seem to be in a constant state of go here and do this. Now however I’m going to take time to just unwind and be present. Thank you for this informative and inspiring video.

I really appreciate your enthusiasm and positive voice, some KZfaqrs who live similar "slow" lives talk in an "aesthetic", soft, and low voice. I feel as though when I am watching videos like that, that Im separate from them because that's not how my inner dialogue sounds nor is it realistic to how people talk. Your energized voice makes this whole slow living thing seem a lot more possible for the average person if that makes sense

Before slow living was a thing, I thought I was just weird. Especially when I was a teen. Nowdays I actively seek ways to slow down every day and enjoy my time on earth. I even film slow living vlogs now. The most important thing is to have the intention to slow down. Everything else will come. Just don't expect change to come overnight. Take your time and adapt to a new lifestyle and see what works for you or not. Take care everyone ❤️ great video!

I've had an issue with procrastination so I'm so quick to try and be productive all the time. Thank you for showing me to balance my life

this videos makes me feel so much better about not stressing myself out in order to feel productive and sucessful

I really hope you never erase or hide this video. Thanks a lot!

this video started playing after I watched a video of someone I am subscribed to. At first I was like, "Why is this playing? I did not click on this?" I watched anyway and feel in love. This tranquility is what I have been missing in my life! It was so calming to let this play while I worked, I instantly felt calmer. I am now subscribed and hope to gain much knowledge. Thank you!

Having a motorcycle is one of the best things to act out slow living believe it or not. I like to take the longer curvy roads rather than flooring it on the highway. People completely undervalue the journey from point A to point B. They need constant stimulation with loud music, speeding, or podcasts. Hell, people can’t even walk their dog without talking on the phone or listen to music. Crazy world.

This video is great, but I had to watch it at 2x speed, so I guess it's too late for me 😂

Appreciated listening to this Christine. The art of saying 'No', is very important for those pushy type of people. Peace reigns supreme. All the best.

I love how this video about slow living is so... Slow

Much needed tips and reminder, Christine! Thank you 😊 Btw, on the technical side note: I love how clear sounding all your voice over are! Video quality, impeccable as always 😊👌

Bowing down to say thank you for God’s provision 💕 God bless you.

It really feels like I need to re-learn a lot about myself and life... Slow living makes so much sense for my personal happiness!🥺

The key to 'slow living' ...become a KZfaqr and work from home.

I'm personally more productive when I go at a slower pace because I need time to think things through. Most of my productivity systems are there to get the best out of myself and increase focus, rather than to churn out work as quickly as possible

Very peaceful to watch. Thanks for this!

This video is so powerful. God is definitely using you to minister and to confirm with words, videos and honesty

I really needed this video. All the stress in my life is coming from thinking I have to and that I need to. Fast. Now.

This video is amazing - thank you for creating!

Thank you very much for this beautiful and inspiring video.. As you encouraged, I am turning off my devices intentionally now for a while and savor life and moments yet to be experienced

This is the smal step for me to begin slow liling. Thanks for inpirations, thanks for the video.

Thank for this . I'm tired of having anxiety

I intentionally will now go take a bath without any devices and just listen to some classical music. But I'll probably have to rewatch this again next week because I'm soooo bad following through with my promises :(

Lovely videos this could be my future life and I'm starting now!!!

this is rare, im usually very anxious watching videos on youtube, i always try to skip parts, but your videos are different, i could be hearing you speaking all day hah, nice video btw

You inspire me so much, thank you for making these amazing videos!!

I needed this. I've legit burned out again. Thanks Christine!

Wow I've owned sustainable home for awhile and only just made the connection that its YOUR BOOK!! Thanks for being a sustainable inspiration!

I love peaceful, slow living, good healthy mind body and soul, with excitement from time to time.

This video made my mind sielent. Thank you extremely!

Very peaceful and love the Calmness of your video.

Learn to say no to yourself is the hardest one.... I always want to do more...

I love your upbeat, sweet attitude and voice. Great content! -A new subscriber

Just found your channel! 💞💞 that you filmed yourself praying🙏 before you ate! Received a like just for that but, I did enjoy your content. 🙂

Thanks for the blessing I took it Amen

When my Keurig broke I replaced it but that one wasn’t working probably and had to return it. It taught me to make coffee using a single cup French press which already had! It so much smaller and slower I’m enjoying the change 😁

i love this. similar to zen

I love this so much!! Thank you for a great video! You’re right, sometimes I feel like my mind is going 100 mph and I feel like I don’t really enjoy the day. Thanks for the reminder ☺️

Lovely video as always! 🙏🏻🌿 Much love and happy hugs from the UK ❣ x

your style and beauty are so unique and classy! 🍂

A really peaceful way to live . Very inspirational.

I love this video. Tip#3 sounds so simple, yet this is very hard for me. But yes, I will take your advice - this is not overnight. It is part of the process. Thank you for this video!

The type of video I’ve been looking for. Thank you. Very informative and inspiring. God bless you.

When I have my own place this is how I want to live! I'm trying my best to live this way now and to slowly integrate it into my life! Definitely hard when your a college student but it will be worth it! Thanks for the knowledge that was shared in this amazing video!

Watched at 2 speed cause I only allow 30 min of YT in my daily schedule since I have so much to do and can't seem to have enough time...

Love this video and keep inspiring! I've started down the path of slow living and it has transformed my life

Thank you Christine for another wonderful and peaceful video! I loved it :) Have a great weekend!

Thank you for this video it's so beautiful♥

Gracias por tus palabras

Christine, you seemed like read my mind beyond these video ☺

Thanks Christine

this is so therapeutic to watch

These tips are very helpful. Thank you for this video. ❤

Thank you for an amazing video, Christine! As a college student in a pretty competitive environment in nyc, I find it incredibly hard to practice slow living. I'll try my best to use the tips from your video today! Sending much love :)

I love all these five tips, it's very useful and practical to do it. Thank you!

I love your videos. They are so peaceful. With your help I have simplified my life a lot. Finally, I feel happier than I have ever before. =)

Well I found what my heart has been trying to tell me… started instantly crying

I’ve tried to watch a few videos about slow living lately and most are too difficult to watch. The creators of the other ones seem to be attempting to slow their speaking down and perhaps trying to use a peaceful voice, but by doing that they lose all the inflection in their voice and turn into a boringly slow monotone. You kept your voice interesting yet calm, so well done! I’m off to check out your other vids now 😁

This is such a beautiful message and video. Thank you

I've been beginning a minimalist journey this year, and this video was enjoyable and brought to mind 'mindfulness' which is the opposite of multitasking. Thanks. Do you earn money from the ads? Or only if if click on them? I'm all for people earning a living from sharing how they live when it resonates with my own journey so much. Thanks Christine!

Thanks for this video 🥰🙏

Lovely and thoughtful video. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

this is so relaxing and inspiring, thank u!

Hey Christine, you’d love Eileen Fisher. Her clothing is very similar to what you usually wear and is very minimalistic and beautiful like yours. It’s also good for the environment!

I needed this. Thank you.

I take a 5-10 minutes 5 times a day to pray , For 10 minutes everything is on hold

omg you’re almost at 100k! congrats in advance 😄!

I saw the ESV Bible 😍

I believe we can have efficiency and technology and live slow at the same time, the challenge is just removing the supposed "efficiency and productivity" that actually has a useless outcome for us.

Congratulations on 100k, Christine 💛

lol we have the same fountain pen--I've had my mine for over 5 years :O--it's so green and less wasteful I don't know why more people use one. All you gotta do you is buy ink that comes in a glass bottle !!

Thanks for sharing 🌻

This video is so inspiring ✨

Ahhh gracias por subtitulos siempre veo tus videos pero me quedaba a la mitad por no entender los 😄😄😄😄😄ahora si los disfruto más! !!

very good advices! thank you!

Wonderful video 😍😍

What a lovely video! I really enjoyed it! Thank you :)

Thank youuuu 🇦🇺🐊🌴

Awsome video, thanks

Perfect life for people with autism!

And somehow, I enjoy living fast. I don't think it's always a bad thing, it depends on the person

Thank you 🦋

I think Number 1 should be don't have children and it will definitely help you to have slow living. Children are a huge responsibility, takes up all your time, rushing them to doctor's when they're sick, and rushing to get them to school while rushing yourself to work. Just a few examples as how life is complicated and fast paced when you have children. I forgot to mention stressful too. I didnt even get into when your children have children and they leave you the burden of raising your own grandchildren. Don't get me wrong I love children, but life and your home is much simpler if you don't have any.

Ya está. Los subtítulos en español!!!Genial...❤️❤️❤️

Great tips for a online world that needs to be disconnected to recharge

Ggreat tips!

Beautiful video!

the background music sounds like the intro to your song about minimalism sing it!
