Choosing to live a slower life is essentially about boundaries and staying true and aligned with yourself first. When we intentionally decide to live a slower life in our fast, modern world, it requires courage and discernment. When we start from within....when we get the inside feeling centered and connected with our true inner selves, the outside falls into place. If you're new to slow living or wish to adopt a more slow lifestyle, I believe that first, a foundation needs to be built before we can add more layers to it! This video is all about my personal 5 essential slow living mindsets I've learned and experienced within my own journey of living a slower pace of life.
appreciations all around you - they are everywhere. :)

How to Live Slower - 5 Slow Living Essential MINDSETS & HABITS
A great mentor of mine said "Should=sh*t. Don't should on yourself, don't should on others and don't let others should on you". Yours are the best videos I have found so far in my search for info on slow living. Thank you for your content :)
yes yes yes!!
Perfectly said !
this type of mindset would bring peace and abundance to the world as more people would let go of their ambitions and feelings of not enoughness..
Helena 💚 There is so much in life we can be grateful for, but we forget about it so easy. So your tip with the timer is great!
oh great!! Glad you enjoyed it, Alina! :) I forgot to add the "gratitude walk" as another option as well. Gratitude walks help me stay present and appreciative with what I have in the moment
Living with less or no stress from life is such a great feeling ...Keeping life simple , being happy with ourselves !
🙏🏻
Living with less is the best gift we can give to ourselves !!!
And then give those things to someone that needs them, is the most rewarding feeling to our ❤ and soul !
Hugs from a Colombian in Miami.
Gratitude journal, every evening.
Try to do it during the day too.
Probably gonna change my journal (not only for gratitude) too write more about it.
Sometimes, I'm soooooooooooo grateful for the rain! It's maybe strange for people, but it's just me feeling gratitude about that. x)
yes! it's the smallest and simplest of things! I love rain too :)
Hi Helena, one of my habits for wellbeing is my daily contact with Nature. Even when the weather's really bad I'll go out five minutes and touch plants and feel their vibrations. It gives me balance and joy. Also, I never do things just cos society or people around me do them or think everyone should, I only follow my heart and my insight. I cultivate gratitude and empathy for all living beings, and all I want to achieve in my life is to be myself always, no matter what. I wasn't born to live the life other people wanted for me but the life I want for myself, too bad if they don't appreciate. Ciao!
How lovely
Wonderful words and thoughts !!!
Love from a Colombian in Miami ! 💝
I'm so happy I chanced upon your channel. Thank you very much for your hard work in sharing these precious pieces of advice. You're glowing as well, so that's great! Have a pleasant day ahead!
I do believe that space you wanted to occupy UA-cam extraordinaire ;). You nailed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a pleasure it is watching and being reminded of the Simple Joys. Thank you Helena. ✌️🐞🌸💫
aw thank you Joe! I'm fulfilled in knowing this simple concept resonates with your heart!
11:38 beautiful message. Love the production quality
aw thank you! :)
Since post covid. I've let go of a lot of things that I used to have/do in life. Thanks for the upload!
wow, that is SO wonderful to hear!! A season of transformation. Like a phoenix rising! Thanks for your words :)
Really enjoyed hearing your perspective on slow living. So many great tips in this video. Thank you for the reminder to appreciate where I am now 💖
yay, thank you Ellen!!
Hello my friends! 💕✨☀️ What are some habits or mindsets that you have found to be important or essential on your slow living journey? Any similarities we have in common? Feel free to share what works for you in the comments below! 🥰
Heart of Kentucky. Hey Helena, Simple Joys. This hair cut is great on you. Katie.
Helena, I really appreciate ur tips on slow living. U r so experienced at this young age. Thank u.
Thank you, I'm so glad to hear these tips are helpful! :)
Omg, Helena! Your words in this video are so important to me. I was in an anxious week when i found your channel, and it remebered me a lot of important things. Tks for that!
aw I'm SO happy to hear this Isabelle!!!
You can not make everybody happy.. so true.. finding joy and source of happiness from within is so much more reliable because then you can not blame anyone or anything else for being grumpy or sad, it's in your own hands to change what can be changed, even the littlest of things within yourself that can make you see the joy and allow to flip the switch from blaming the world to relying on self-sufficiency in being happy.
It's an internal human value we all ( i hope) strive to achieve.. on the other hand, maybe some people are more comfortable blaming the world as they are too nervous to take a look inside..❤
EXACTLY! Oh I love that point you made - people are definitely more comfortable blaming the outside world rather than looking within. Everything is a mirror, pointing to us what needs to be healed and mended. How beautiful. Love your words
i love it!!! i really needed that!!! I love the random Pause idea. Please continue making video and in the future, please consider making a video about FOMO. I struggle with that so much when it comes to my shopping addiction and how my curiosity lights up when i hear someone rave about the product and I feel like I have to try it for myself. I waste so much time, energy, and money on "stuff" that I literally open, try, and then discard somewhere and then I search for the next new thrill to make me feel fulfilled. Please help us with us being wise, before we impulsively engage in FOMO whatever it was.
This is such a GREAT idea! I already have some ideas swirling around my head around FOMO, as I definitely used to struggle with EXACTLY what you're sharing about a few years ago when I was living in NYC! I've since let it all go and have felt such relief from letting it go. I'll make a video on this topic - stay tuned :)
Love your vybes
Hello Helena.
Very happy to listen to you and see you again. Your videos have become a real date for me. Yes, the quest for a simpler life in tune with myself has always been one of my dearest wishes. Unfortunately, things of life have always had a big impact on me and life has gotten too serious. My education is certainly there for something, however, I always had the conviction that I should succeed in my sentimental life rather than my professional life. My life has become a permanent struggle to preserve this inner part of me, this sensitivity, this relationship to the beauty of things, this poetry that still makes me love living. It’s as if everything in this society keeps me from breathing. You are right, I must find a way to let go, enjoy simple pleasures, enjoy small daily joys, find the art of laughing. As you said, we cannot be everything and we cannot make everybody happy. I believe, above all, that I must find peace with myself. I have to meditate on all your precious advice as if i listen to a friend. I'm sure you will agree with me, it starts with a cup of hot chocolate.
For me, your videos "When You Don't Know What to Do", "How Life Feels Different After Confinement", "We Think We Have Time | Don't Wait for Life to Happen »
Are my favorites. It's my register.
Thank you so much Bruno! Your comments are truly my favorite! You really take the time to respond to my work, and I am so appreciative of your words. Oh....society really does keep us from breathing. That struck a chord. Life can be very hard, especially when we listen to the outside guidance of others, the media, news and society in general. By going inwards and reflecting our own wants and values - and what would TRULY bring us the most joy in this singular lifetime - then we can take the action steps to get there. But it always starts from going within and shielding out the noise. For me that looks like journaling what I deeply value most in my life, putting boundaries on media, and spending time alone in silence in nature.There the answers can really flow through. I have to remind myself of this in my day-to-day as well! It's a constant dance of learning, implementing and then relearning again. But that is where all the growth happens :) Hot chocolate - how delightful! I have a cup everyday and it brings me so much simple pleasures. So wonderful to hear you enjoy it as well.
Watching your videos is a way to slow down, really :) . I also write a gratitude journal. A problem is that sometimes I write the same things over and over.
This brings me so much joy to hear, Ruta
I always new that life is a miracle UNFOLDING PERFECTLY IN slow motion,thank u for connecting and conforming with the same knowing.
Absolutely agree with all that u share.Knowing u a is blessing send from the divine.Sending blessings to u n ur husband,STAY safe n healthy.
Thank you from the bottom of my beingness.

Helpful
Great video! and you look very pretty :)
I absolutely adore your videos and I am trying to utilize your advice as much as possible. But i am a stay at home mom to 3 very wild young children, so living slowly can be difficult lol I am constantly pouring from an empty cup bc motherhood is 24/7 😐 do you have any advice on how i can live slowly in a house of chaos lol? Thanks so much! Please keep the videos coming! 🖤
Hi Tiffany!! Thanks so much for the feedback! Oy, that must be really hard to live slowly in the day to day - I'll add this to my last for next month's videos! I have a video coming out about balancing a slow life with being busy, I'll think of you when I write out the script and add some tips for ya :)
@@helenawoods thank you so much! I am so looking forward to it! ❤😄
Hi Tiffany, I don’t know if it will help, but have you watched The Minimal Mom on UA-cam? She simplified her life as she had 4 children under 5 & was feeling overwhelmed. She discovered decluttering her home so she had less inventory to manage really helped her. Her videos are so good at making decluttering easier. Hope it helps ☺️ xx
@@karenharris3123 Hey! No I havent, I'm gonna have to check that out! That is definitely one of my biggest issues, my house is always a mess bc we accumulate so much stuff and it just gets thrown around by my.crazy kiddos. Thanks so much, I will check her out 😊
Could you please tell you what did you use to make that blog? Looks beautiful.
