82. What I Learned From Slowing Down - Monthly Intention Recap

I’m sharing what I learned from slowing down during my October monthly intention to embrace a more mindful pace. This month, I set out to savor each moment—to be present with my family, simplify my routine, and truly enjoy the little things in life. From switching to tea after a caffeine overload to reconnecting with cooking and letting go of my smartwatch, I made small changes that brought peace and clarity to my days.

Join me as I reflect on how focusing on slowing down transformed my mindset and created a more intentional, fulfilling month. I hope my journey inspires you to find moments to slow down in your own life.

1. Mindfulness in Daily Life: Slowing down this month taught me the power of simple, mindful actions. By focusing on small, intentional choices, like savoring a morning cup of tea and stretching, I found peace in my daily routine and a greater sense of calm.
2. Living Intentionally Reduces Mental Clutter: Letting go of constant tracking from my smartwatch and limiting my evening distractions helped clear mental space, allowing me to focus on what truly matters without feeling rushed.
3. Reconnecting with Joy in Simple Moments: By embracing my monthly intention, I rediscovered joy in everyday tasks like cooking for my family and listening to an audiobook. These small shifts added meaning and clarity to my daily life.

MINDFUL ACTION: This week, try choosing one moment to slow down intentionally. It could be something as simple as enjoying your morning coffee without distractions or pausing to take a few deep breaths before starting your day. Let yourself savor this small, quiet moment and notice how it feels to be fully present.
