“Slow beauty”: what is it

In this article, we will not talk about high-speed express tools, because it is written for those who have already become or are about to become a fan of the slow life lifestyle.

What is slow life

Slow life (from the English slow life) is perhaps one of the main trends of the XNUMXst century. This movement originated at the end of the last century, in the era of globalization and urbanization, as a logical response to the rapid acceleration of the pace of life in big cities.

We are tired of constantly running somewhere, focusing on deadlines, checking work mail every minute and trying to fit a bunch of things into 24 hours. We are tired of being stressed around the clock.

The slow life style calls for an end to the rush and fuss and to live more slowly – that is, in the rhythm and pace assigned to us by nature.

Main principles

  • Enjoy the present moment.

  • Listen to your feelings and desires.

  • Don’t rush when you really can’t.

  • Know how to plan your time and work.

  • Consciously treat not only yourself, but also the environment.

The main principle of the “slow” lifestyle is not to create fuss artificially. Don’t walk fast just because you’re used to it. Do not snack on the go, because it is a pity to have time for table setting. Occasionally do a digital detox by turning off your phone and ditching your computer.

Main directions

The culture of slowing down is gradually permeating all spheres of life. It all started with direction slow foodthat arose as a response to the world domination of fast food. It would seem that it is difficult: to buy groceries and spend an hour and a half in the kitchen preparing dishes according to a recipe from a cookbook?

But we are so used to saving time that we either go to the nearest fast food restaurant, or buy convenience foods, or order food to be delivered to our homes. In opposition to this approach, there was a desire to slow down. On the one hand, it helps to return to traditions, on the other hand, to stop ruffling your nerves with eternal haste.

In addition to slow food, there are many other directions in slow life.

  • Slow Reading: “live” the book as a small life – dwell on the details, make notes in the margins of the pages, discuss what you read with friends.

  • Slow travel: remember that exploring new countries and cities is something more than snapping the main sights on the camera.

  • Slow fashion: buy only the necessary clothes, which, among other things, will last a long time. Ideally, these should be things made from environmentally friendly materials.

  • Slow Art: not to run through an art gallery with an audio guide in your pocket, but to study each work for a long time.

Slow beauty, or slow beauty, is one of the directions of movement to slow down life.
