Live life in the slow lane

A languid walk, a slow bike ride, breakfast without checking the clock: slow is good. We share four tips for a lower pace.

• Time to be idle
  It’s easy enough to say: try to be idle more often. How do you do that again? Simple: do what you feel like doing for as long as you feel like doing it. And not because it’s useful.
• Be nice to yourself
  Slowing down also means being nice to yourself. You’re allowed to just relax. You’re allowed to simply sit on the couch with a cup of tea. Or once in a while, turn up late for something. All that is not as bad as it might seem.
