The Importance of Slowing down

Some days you just want to crawl under the covers and stay there. One of the biggest revolutions is to just simply to slow down.

For the last year and a half, my main focus has been to slow down and just be. Instead of working most of the time, I’ve started spending my time and energy on the simple pleasures in my life.

Things that make me feel happy and alive:

Take a long, hot bath
Have lunch outside
Go for a long walk
Have a cup of tea (I’ve created my own little tea-ritual; scented candle, ambient lighting, relaxing music playing in the background) #PureBliss
Dress up (even if I don’t necessarily feel like it)
Watch my favourite TV series (Sex and the City) or one of my favourite movies
Go to the local park – bring along a hot drink and a magazine (current favourite is ‘In the Moment’)
Cook a new recipe
Walk around my home and take in the beauty of what I’ve created
Get into my creative zone and practice my doodling skills
Visualise my Future Self – take the time to daydream!
Live my French Inspired Life

We all know and can agree that we live in a hard, busy world… So stay soft, calm and remember that you get to create your schedule.

What do you love to do?

Making some tea?
Journaling?
Going for a long mindful walk?

Reading a book?
Lying down on the sofa, with your head resting on a soft cushion, your body snuggled up in a blanket and listen to your favourite music (my favourite channel these days is Alex Rainbird‘s #IndiePopFolk
the flavour of your favourite chocolate (my current favourite is Belgian Chocolate Truffles – they’re so rich and decadent that one goes a long way!)

These are some of the ways we really feed ourselves; our mind, body and soul ♡ living in the moment and take in the beauty of every day and everything around you – Enjoying the simple things in life.
