Episode 4018: Ali Cornish explores how slowing down can help us reclaim meaning, clarity, and peace in a world driven by constant urgency and overstimulation. Through simple but powerful lifestyle shifts like slow travel, mindful breathing, unplugging from technology, and embracing quiet moments, Cornish encourages a more intentional and fulfilling way of living. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://everthrive.org/blog/2017/3/31/take-the-slow-way Quotes to ponder: "Sometimes it's necessary to take a break from living in the moment. Sometimes it's necessary to "take the slow way."" "By slowing down, we allow ourselves time to think about how we are living life. Slowing down gives us space to evaluate our choices and make new goals." "Similar to enjoying a quality beer, we should drink life slowly to appreciate the taste and savor the experience."
