#Slowing

✨welcome the slowing down series✨ In an effort to slow down & find balance in my life, I’m going to be seeking out different self care activities & mindset shifts in my day to day. Like many people, I’m a chronic workaholic!! And although I am so blessed to enjoy all of the work that I do, I also have a bad habit of avoiding intentional rest. So that’s what I’m going to be working on! Don’t worry, my journaling content is here to stay! In fact, I intend to be posting more journaling content now that I’m trying to be more active on here! But I’ll also be trying out new forms of content as well, such as this vlog series :) Follow along & join me🫶🏻 And go enter the giveaway I posted before this👀 #slowingdown #slowingdownseries #slowliving #vlog #youngwife #wife #husbandandwife #stayathomewife #productivity #intentionalrest

slowing down isn’t laziness. it’s nervous system repair. it’s remembering what real presence feels like. no one really talks about how overstimulation rewires you, how it makes stillness feel uncomfortable, or how long it takes to relearn calm once you’ve lived in survival mode for too long. but this is where the real healing starts. in small, consistent choices that remind your body it’s safe to rest again. stepping outside before you check your phone. eating without rushing. letting silence feel good. • comment 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 if you’re ready to remember what that pace feels like • 🍂 what’s one small way you’ve been slowing down lately?

Slowing down and rest are important tools for managing stress and trauma, as they help repair the adrenal glands, restore our nervous system, and allow our brain to relax. Our nervous system needs to be in a parasympathetic state to truly restore and recharge. My solstice invitation for you is to practice the medicine of more space and less doing. Slowing down and creating more space can mean: * going on walks in nature * less screen time * starting your day with more intention * making it a habit to do a yoga nidra session in the afternoon * having a daily tea ceremony * taking time to read a book in the evening * cutting down or taking a break from coffee and other stimulants * sitting in the sun and breathing consciously * checking in with your capacity for social engagements and business projects * doing more yin yoga or qigong instead of fast exercise Whatever it means for you, do your nervous system a favor and give it more space to breathe. If all you have are pockets of a few minutes here and there due to family or work, use what you got with intention. What’s within my capacity and reality to rest based on your circumstances? How can I rest between all my responsibilities? Just remember: one of the best practices to heal trauma and regulate your nervous system is RESTING. What are ways that help you slow down and practice rest in your daily life? Share with us in the comments!

My desire to own less mostly stems from wanting to save time by managing less & save money by not spending on unnecessary items. But I think there’s definitely a perception that less means boring and cold and sterile. And that’s possible but I don’t think it has to be. What if we still embraced color and personality but without overdoing it? I don’t always get this right but I’m working on intentionally choosing items I love without impulsively purchasing more than we need. In 2025 I hope to donate, sell or remove items WITHOUT buying more. Who’s with me?? 🫶🏼

This year: slowing down, enjoying the mundane, not seeking or striving as much, enjoying the little stuff.
