Slow Living Activities that Make My Life Better (NOT just rest and relax!)

I know, you're probably like, "Weird video topic, Julianne..."

But life isn't JUST about getting rid of the things we don't need. It's also about adding in some things we DO.

We've talked about things that you need to declutter from your life...

Now, let's talk about things to ADD IN that make your life richer and fuller, help you engage with the present.

So, for today, I'm going to talk through what I'd do for a perfect slow-living day that didn't involve leaving my house. And I'm getting super specific, because I think specific examples are the most helpful. Hopefully, it inspires you the next time you have a few minutes to yourself! (And, I'd love to hear what you'd do, too!)
