How to quit hustling and embrace intentional presence

As a form of lifestyle, it doesn't require much. It's about mindfulness and intentional living. I practice it by being intentionally present in my surroundings - no mobile phones when I'm with loved ones, taking breaks when my body needs it, and spending more time in nature.

- Deepa Natarajan Lobo

We live in a world where the pressure to do more, be more, and achieve more can often leave us feeling daunted, disconnected, and drained. But what if the key to feeling truly alive isn't about speeding up, but about slowing down and appreciating the simple pleasures of life? Just think - when was the last time you stepped on the terrace sans gadgets to soak in the warmth of the sun? Or the time you admired the beauty of a parrot sitting on a nearby tree? Welcome to the world of slow living - a mindful approach that encourages us to savour the present moment, reconnect with ourselves, and live with more intention and less rush.
