- What is slow living? Something very different for my channel - discovering slow living, when you live a fast paced life. My journey to slow living, documented.
Slow living is a lifestyle choice that encourages us to slow down and savour life's simple pleasures. When we adopt this approach, we can let go of the fast-paced, frenzied way of living and instead embrace a calmer, more intentional way of being.
A life where I'm not in a rush to get anywhere or do anything; simply allowing myself to be present in the moment.
Overall, slow living is about prioritising the things that truly matter and letting go of the rest. It's about finding joy in the simple pleasures of life and savouring each moment as it comes. So if you're feeling overwhelmed by the fast pace of modern life, consider giving slow living a try and see how it can transform your world.
So if life's getting busy, and you need a new pace,
Try slowing it down, and enjoy life's embrace.
Embrace the simplicity, and let it unfold,
Discover the magic, in the moments you hold.

I'm with you, I recently left my stressful pharmacy job, it was a toxic environment and wasn't good for me. I've now got a muchhh less stressful job and i try to live intentionally, spending time on what truly matters with the people i love.
Yes to this!! It's about deciding what matters most to us and leaning into it as much as we can x
This was such a lovely video, definitely gave me some ideas of slowing down. Thank you! ❤
We have to work like we don’t have children and look after children like we don’t work. I too am self employed and never switch off work as it’s always at home. Finding time to switch off is so important. Finding balance for all to live a better life is key. 🌈
Aww, love this. I would consider myself to live slowly. My favourite quote I have heard was from another RUclipsr called Madisun Grey. She said that slow living was about savouring the things that you value. I also think it's a journey and every persons ideal is different. Enjoy! Xx
Slow living means different things to different people doesn’t it! Sometimes it can be just a little bit of time out, to others it’s in everything they do! It takes thought to achieve this and anywhere in between. These two channels are very different but along with their music really help me on my progress. I appreciate you showing us starting your journey along with even detecting some issues Ie the reversing bleeper 🤣! It’s probably the machinery at Wisley! It’s funny but I was watching one slow living Vlog they other day where she said that people say that they would love to live like them but they live in a town or a flat or that they can’t afford it etc. so she revealed that she doesn’t live in a lovely country cottage but surrounded by other houses. Then I realised that I already have the lovely cottage in the country but the slow living is a mind set and takes time to nurture! I know you love a candle so too do I so this is where I’ve started. Even my dogs love it now when I light the candles, they dive in the chair together to watch me relax and read! Try these channels, YRstudios (such a lot of inspiration and she has a candle business which I buy from) also The Cottage Fairy American girl with a beautiful soul! And Apronfull of Stones. She’s not posted much for a while but beautiful music and scenery! May be you need the woods rather than an RHS Gardens! Love it though Lara, been following you for some time now. Good luck on your journey! Xxx
Oh susie, I beamed throughout reading this whole comment!! Thank you so so much for taking the time to read it. I really appreciate it and the advice. I saw some of the cottage fairy videos and they were so relaxing! I don’t think my channel will be like those as I have other interests and so do my audience but I am really enjoying leaning into it and seeing where it’s going. And yes to the moment of lighting candles!! 🥰🥰🥰 xx
@@LaraJoannaJarvis yes yours will be different as you are more realistic I think but capturing some of the elements into your busy life will be interesting to us! My son left home when he was 17! I was 38! He is 40 this year!🤣My husband and I have had a long time to re discover who we are but I do regret not taking time out to slow down a bit back then! But it’s never too late so I do it now! 😘😘
Loved this video and would love to see more! My little boy is 1 now and still doesn’t sleep through the night, he is a whirlwind during the day and I feel like I never stop. If I’m not chasing after him, I’m tidying the house, cleaning bottles, prepping meals, the list goes on… But I am trying to remind myself that the jobs will get done and to enjoy the time I have with him as he is growing so quickly. I am so tired in the morning but I want to get up even half an hour before him to have some time to myself even if that only means sitting down with a coffee. Peace and quiet really is bliss xxx
Ahhh, this just honestly brings it all back! It feels like you have no time to yourself at all when they’re that age. Mine are 10 & 8 next week and they are SO much more independent, and it’s sad they don’t need us as much. It’s such a cliché, but it really doesn’t last long and soon you’ll be like me, missing being needed! I never mastered getting up before them but I know people who do and they seem to love it. I’m always up so late that the mornings sleep is precious to me haha. Sending lots of love xx
Thanks for sharing, loved the poem overture.
I did like this video, but my absolute favs are your budget related ones- you are inspiring, relatable and rampacked with wonderful budget tips!
I've only just seen this. I've also wanted to start slow living. Burnt out and have a 10 year old so able to focus on myself a little more!
I feel you Lara. Im at the age where my children are growing and had a busy few years to get a home which needs work, and im tired and feel i need a break. Ive moved into a home with a lovely garden which brings me joy. I've also started a veggie patch - i think this would be amazing for you too x
lovely poetry and loved the video which seemed to come at the right time. I have two boys and find life to be flying by quickly but it's tiring me out. this is the therapy we all need in a world where being busy is celebrated. it was always going to turn on its head like this and a breather is what we need.
I've always lived my life thinking being busy is doing well, being productive. But rest is productive! I am really excited to see where this will go! It's amazing to hear so many people are looking for change too! xx
Thanks I totally relate. My little boy is similar age to you. My 20s were spent racing through chasing a career and always about what was next to come. Now in my late thirties I just want to savour the now the moment. I don’t feel that I did that in my 20s. Life’s so short, enjoy the little moments.
Im retired, my children have left home, have their own families. My time is slow, I would love to be back in my old job and busy again. You can have too much spare time. I do have hobbies, but nothing like busy family life. Enjoy it while you are young.
Thank you! It is always interesting to hear other people’s perspectives as each age and chapter of life is different isn’t it. What we wish for when babies are young and exhausting is something we can then have too much of when we’re older! I think for me slowing down allows me to truly enjoy the moment of what is happening and take it in as like you say before I know it I’ll be craving this busy family life xx
How about some volunteering part time to pass your slow time?
@@pauline9933 I already do that, charity shop and meals on wheels. ❤️.
I completely get it-I find the older I’m getting-I’m just craving a simpler life! I’m trying to live with less-have you read Courtney Carvers books? They are brill. I try to get out in nature everyday as I feel so much better for it.
That’s a beautiful place 🌷Thanks Lara for sharing.
Yes. I completely agree!! I think after what we all went through in 2020 and beyond as well, it puts things into a different perspective. Nature is such a wonderful healer, isn’t it. Thanks for the tip! Xx
I love this video so much ❤❤❤❤
Ah, thanks Debbie! I appreciate that! xx
Love this even watch it twice x
Oh thank you, Johanna! I’m so pleased you liked it! I really enjoyed making it and would love to make more xx
I went for a woodland walk for my birthday I left feeling so relaxed and energised I was shocked. I want to aim to do more of this but time definitely slips away in the week
Have you got national trust membership?I find for me it’s a great one to have!something I can do with my family friends or on my own!x
Really enjoyed this. Exactly what I'm trying to do, slow done and enjoy the now x
I am so excited to hear so many people are trying to do the same - looking forward to this journey! x
I created a board on Pinterest for slow living themed pins. I found this a great way to inspire and curate the idea of living more intentionally. It really goes against the grain of 21st century life to choose less over more, it can be difficult but highly rewarding. Thanks for sharing your experience of slow living I hope this is a series on your channel now lol!
I am trying to limit my phone usage and only use it when presetn rather than doom scrolling feel like im sleeping better my mood is better already!
Yes! I am trying really hard to reduce the amount I am on my phone, especially at night times, it definitely helps! x
Great video- relaxing just to watch! I’m really trying to take onboard some slow living, I’ve two young children and a very stressful job and it’s really taking its toll at the moment, so hoping trying some time out every now again and some new things help. I’m currently reading the same book, only just discovered Lisa Jewell and really enjoying her books so far. X
Great video love it xx😊
Thanks Lauren! x
I love to watching you x
❤
What is the poem please it’s beautiful.
What kind of camera you were using to made this video great video
Oh thanks - it's an M50 with a 35mm lens :)

Youtalk far too fast for this to feel relaxin
Definitely too much talking for a slow living video checkout apron full of spoons but not bad for a first try.
Thanks, I think haha. I don't want to alienate my community who wont have watched that kind of silent vlog video, but perhaps want to know what slow living is and how I can incorporate it into my busy life. So, this is an in-between one, it's not supposed to be a silent vlog, but a slow living tips/ideas for busy people who are interested in trying it too, or seeing how I am doing it x
