Hello, beautiful beans and welcome to the podcast episode of today.

So this episode is all about the psychology of the slow life.

Why is it that so many people are returning to the slow life?

What are the benefits?

And when I talk about slow life, I'm talking about moving away from this kind of

addictive content, moving from short form content more into longer form, intentional.

You know, when you absorb content, you're being more intentional with what it is.

You're absorbing. Maybe you're reading more intentional with what it is you're absorbing.

Maybe you're reading more blogs, you're listening to more long-form podcasts instead of the doom scrolling. What does that look like? What are the benefits of doing that? And is there a way

that you can do it in a balanced sense? So where you don't have to necessarily quit everything, and if there is a way

you can do it, how can you do it? So we're going to be discussing all of that. I'm also going to be

discussing the benefits of if you just did want to quit absolutely all the social media, whatever,

and what that could look like. And as I was going into a deep dive of this and why it is that we're going into this slower

soft life and how by doing that it actually doesn't take away from you still working hard

towards something and achieving a lot. It actually, ironically, makes you achieve so much more.

I'm going to talk about how it positively impacts your ability to regulate your emotions.

I'm going to be talking about what emotional regulation is, but not too in depth because I actually want to do a neuroscience of emotional regulation coming up soon so that I can do a deep dive into that.

But I also want to talk about the kind of how the needle in a way has gone a bit too far and we're seeing a bit of a correction

for the better among other things because when you look at like the landscape of technology

and media and social media and how it's affecting us as individuals you're seeing a lot of people

where it feels like it's gone too far and it's just getting out of hand things like like AI and all of that. And then you see this other group of people that are really taking back control in areas that they can in their life and they're feeling so much better for it. So the first thing I wanted to quickly talk about is very quickly, in a nutshell, what is what am I talking about when we say a regulated emotions, the ability to regulate your

emotions and a regulated nervous system? What I'm talking about here without getting into the crux
