Description

Today marks the beginning of the Great Slow Living Experiments Experiment!
In case you missed it, Ben and Brooke have given their bodies and brains to science* in the name of testing a variety of slow living approaches.
Every month they choose one experiment to focus their attention on, and each Monday release a podcast where they talk about their experience to date. And today is the very first one!
February sees them giving up processed sugar in an attempt to become more mindful of what they’re eating, as both have been guilty of slipping in to boredom/emotional/habitual eating.
It made sense to cut out sugar first, as that’s one of the biggest drivers for mindless eating and one that’s currently very popular.
So a few days ago they began. And it wasn’t pretty…
*Not really science. Just Brooke and Ben.

We live life in the fast lane. We race to keep up with The Joneses. We are over-worked, over-connected and over-stressed, and we compete on how busy and important and sleep-deprived we are. But we don't have to. There is an ever-growing group of people who are saying no to life lived at 110%. They are opting to slow down, simplify, say no and focus on the things that are truly important. Brooke McAlary, founder of SlowYourHome.com, is one of them, and in this podcast she chats to others who have adopted a similar approach to life: simple living, slowing down, opting out, saying no. Learn what makes people change, how life is different, and what their advice is to anyone looking to get out of the fast lane.
