Live slowly
In North America, it’s common to rush through life, stressed by schedules and missing simple joys. In Paris, locals take time to slow down and be present, enjoying mornings in cafés with pastries and newspapers, and indulging in long, leisurely lunches. Slow living taught me to live intentionally, leading to greater fulfillment and clarity. I still take inspiration from savoir-vivre by starting my day with a warm beverage, free from distractions, and savoring each sip.
Embrace it: Dedicate at least 15 to 20 minutes each day to unplugging from the fast-paced digital world. This mental break can spark creativity and even improve your problem-solving abilities.
