Katie Kramitzos: 我知道我们每个人在人生的某个阶段都会渴望慢下来。这种渴望源于对快节奏生活的压力和疲惫。在社交媒体上,人们常常将"慢生活"理想化,例如卖掉房子,搬到树林里,自给自足。但我认为,追求慢生活并不需要如此极端。我们不必彻底改变生活,就能找到内心的平静。关键在于暂停和呼吸,这能让我们从不断涌现的思绪和情绪中解脱出来,从而找到内心的宁静。 冥想可以帮助我们做到这一点。通过冥想,我们可以有意识地选择暂停,让思绪沉淀下来,倾听内心的声音,找到适合自己的节奏。这就像在暴风雨中,我们选择停下来,感受雨水洗刷我们内心的伤痛,最终发现平静早已存在于我们内心深处。 在过去的一年中,我经历了搬家、照顾孩子和处理家务的压力,感觉自己像是在高速运转的跑步机上,喘不过气来。我渴望慢下来,甚至想过在家上学,过上更慢节奏的生活。但我知道,这并不意味着要放弃一切。我们可以通过一些简单的步骤来减缓生活节奏,例如简化晚餐时间,寻求帮助,多花时间在户外,放弃一些不必要的活动,等等。 重要的是,我们要倾听内心的声音,找到适合自己的方式,并勇敢地付诸行动。这可能意味着更多地陪伴孩子,减少电子设备的使用,创造更多与自然相处的时间,或者只是简单地做一些家务,和鸡一起玩耍。无论你听到什么声音,都要相信它,并勇敢地采取行动。然后,看看你的生活感觉如何,随时调整和发展。这是你的生活,你的节奏,你的规则。

Might you, too, crave a slower pace of life?  Do you feel like you’re in a bit of a rat race? 

If so, let me give you an option that isn’t so social-media-sexy, but is, in my opinion, a lot more doable. 

On social media, someone who is “looking for a slower pace of life” sells their suburban home and possessions and moves out to the woods and takes you on their journey of living off the land.  

How do I know?  Because I love watching these folks and, as you can tell from my summer-time cravings, have a somewhat idealized version of wanting to do this.  (I built a chicken coop last week…I’m on my way! 🤣).

But…

You don’t have to move to the woods to slow down.  You don’t have to completely uproot your entire life in order to feel peace. 

You just have to PAUSE…

And BREATHE…
