Slow Living Practice of the Day: Consider Saying Yes or Saying No
We’ve all experienced having too much on our plate. I’ve certainly hoped for miracles, filling my to-do list with too much then proceeded to scowl at the undiminished list at the end of the day feeling defeated, tired, and unhappy.
Meditate on the consequences of saying yes, and saying no. Knowing we have limited hours in our days, what do you say yes to? What do you say no to? When practicing slow living, we need to be intentional about the things we agree to make a part of our lives. What can be sacrificed and what is obligatory in your limited time on this earth? Slow living is about living with purpose and fulfillment. YOUR purpose and fulfillment, and not your friends’, Mom’s, or neighbors. What will you say yes? What will you cross off your list? What will you do with the time you’ve gained by saying no?
