Taking it Easy

In response to the fast-paced, high-stress nature of modern life, which has left many feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, a growing number of Americans have begun to embrace the "slow" lifestyle. The hashtag #slowlife has nearly 5.5 million posts on Instagram and 555 million views on TikTok. A slow life is considered one that's mindful, meaningful, and free of unfulfilling busyness. Individuals following this trend are intentional with their time and resources. Notably, slow-life advocates are also mindful of the time they spend on tech devices, especially the time spent on social media.
