La tecnologia ci fornisce di continuo degli innovativi strumenti in grado di farci risparmare tempo, ma è piuttosto buffo constatare come siamo poi inclini a utilizzare quel tempo per fare ancora più e più cose, con il risultato che le nostre vite divengono man mano più frenetiche e stressanti che mai.
Siamo abituati a correre talmente veloci che la nostra esistenza ci passa davanti senza che riusciamo a viverla e a goderla pienamente.
Tuttavia, fortunatamente, questo non è certo uno schema obbligato quanto piuttosto un’abitudine, un’adesione quasi istintiva ai modelli sociali che con più frequently occur around us. If you really want it, fortunately, we have a choice and decide to slow down the pace of our lives. If your current lifestyle is too hectic and it makes you tired and stressed out, why not try to slow down? Think about it, what you really have to lose?
Slow essentially means finding a personal pace that allows you to enjoy every single moment of your life, to exist here and now without moving with constant anxiety and frenzy to the next task or the upcoming target.
slowdown means take your time to appreciate what you are doing at the moment, whatever it is. Means focus is completely dedicated to the person you're talking to, to free oneself from the obsession with telephone and email, it means to live in ease and enjoy the small pleasures that fill your life today but which often do not even realize you like a sunrise, a smile or a flower.
slowdown means to concentrate on a task at a time, devoting attention and love, instead of trying to juggle multiple tasks at the same time not focused on any of them.
Slow is a conscious choice, a choice that requires courage, but also a choice that can enrich your life, make it more genuine and lead you to happiness more authentic.
So here's what you can start doing:
1. Make Less. E 'rather difficult to be able to slow down if you keep trying to juggle many activities. Instead, consciously choose to do less. Focus on what is really important for you and priority and forget the rest. Try to live frugally, try to find the fullness in the simplicity and joy of small pleasures.
2. Be present. Try not only to slow down, but also to recruit and maintain full awareness of what we're doing in each moment. Here and now. Be present and aware in each moment, focused on the present. Savor the moment, stay focused and aware of your actions, people around you and the environment around you. If you realize you are thinking about something that has already happened or could happen in the future ... kindly reported in the present moment and live it to its fullest.
3. Logout. Learn how to get rid of the constant obsession with the phone or Blackberry. From time to time, try to keep it off or leave it at home. If you are usually working for several hours at the computer, trying to cut out the intervals of time during which you can devote to them. Being constantly connected means leaving a continuously open flow potential stressful information, such as to interrupt, distract you and lead you in a state of fear and frenzy. It 'pretty hard to be able to slow down when you're always busy checking incoming messages.
4. Focus on people. Very often we find ourselves spending time with family and friends, or we meet with colleagues, and despite being physically present we are not really there with them. We talk with them but we are distracted by other thoughts. We are there, but our minds think about what we do. We listen, but in reality we are thinking about ourselves and what we mean. None of us is immune from this behavior, but with a conscious effort have the opportunity to shut down for a moment you and the outside world devoted exclusively to the person with whom you are. This means being able to be present for the next meeting is to live intensely a means to connect deeply with other people, not simply meet them. In this way, through awareness of this even a short time to buy a deep intensity.
5. Admire nature. Many of us spend most of their time in the closed car, a bus or an office. Often our time outdoors is limited to a few steps throughout the day. On the contrary, proof to take the time to enjoy the day outdoors, try to closely observe nature, take a deep breath when the air is fresh and clean, live fully and enjoy the wonder of water and the environment. Make sure that outdoor activities are an integral part of your day.
6. Eat more slowly. ingest food with greed and greed only leads to the accumulation of excess weight and the waiving of the genuine pleasures of food. Try to eat slowly then. Force yourself, think about when you're at the table. Try to be aware of every single bite. He likes the taste and smell of food. Being able to eat slowly involves the dual benefit of experiencing the feeling of satiety by eating smaller amounts of food and taste better the intimate flavor of each dish.
7. Driving more slowly. Driving fast is one of the most common habits in our world that continues to act with frenzy and impatience. Driving fast is the cause of accidents, stress and wasted gasoline. Then try to slow down even when you're driving, try to appreciate the environment that surrounds you when you are driving, make a pleasant time during which to contemplate your life and watch the world flow around you. The guide will become safer and infinitely more enjoyable. And save gas!
8. Find pleasure in everything. If you can be present in each moment, whatever you're doing, you'll gradually come to appreciate the intimate joy, identifying all look nice. Wash the dishes, for example, is an activity that is typically seen as a looming to be completed in a hurry to move quickly to something more fun. Instead, try to be present when you wash the dishes, for example, try to find the most enjoyable aspects. Feel the sensation of water on your hands, contact with the soap, the smooth surface of the plates. Assuming a different perspective, even washing dishes can become a pleasant activity, as may become much more housework or manual activities. Your whole life can become much more enjoyable if you learn to adopt this simple habit.
9. Do one thing at a time. Exactly the opposite of multi-tasking. Perform multiple tasks at the same time is counterproductive and stressful. Focus on one thing at a time. When you feel the urgent need to devote to them, just slow down, breathe deeply and get back to what you're doing.
10. Breathe. When you realize that you're going too fast and you feel stressed out, try fermarti per un attimo e cerca di inspirare lentamente e in profondità. Fai un respiro, rilassati, senti l’aria che entra dolcemente nei tuoi polmoni. Fai altri 2-3 respiri, con lentezza e profondità. Senti come lo stress scivola via dal tuo corpo. Focalizzandoti su ciascun respiro sarai in grado di ricondurti nel momento presente e viverlo in tutta la sua unicità.
