The Art of a Stress-Free Weekend with Kids: Slowing Down to Expand Time

Today, I’m sharing a reflection that has surfaced in my meditation practice: the profound need for rest and slowing down. As I’ve intentionally let go of stress, fear, and lack, I’ve realized that our fast-paced culture equates slowing down with laziness—but I’ve found that to be a myth. In fact, time expands when we’re present in the here and now.

This video shows clips from my slow-paced Labor Day weekend, filled with joy, connection, and mindfulness. From quiet moments with my beautiful daughter and husband to time spent with friends and real belly laughs, I embraced what was truly in front of me. I also share a more in-depth perspective on the need to slow down and five simple tips you can use immediately.

I invite you to reflect: Are you caught up in a cycle of doing, searching, and rushing? Could slowing down be the key to finding joy right where you are?
