“降低生活水平以提高生活质量的行为。”

— Investopedia

“……减速生活者,一个已经决定在自己的职业生涯中,更多并不总会变得更好的人。尽管总有一些退出企业者讨厌所谓的“老鼠赛跑”,但低调的人只是希望生活更加平衡。他们可能会选择退出公司生活,或者只是通过减少压力较大和耗时的工作来简化生活,以更加节俭的生活方式来弥补收入的下降。”

—《华尔街日报》

减速生活是迈向简单之路的第一步。

— 闲人·迪克森


减速生活也提倡简单的生活方式。它主要关注生活的三个外部方面:

  • 消费 — 有目的的购买。坚持基本需求。更少的支出意味着更少的债务和不能带来欢乐的东西。
  • 事业 — 少工作,多生活。不要忙着你的工作。减少工作时间或者找一份要求不高的工作。
  • 生活方式 — 简单,健康,更环保。整理房子。把对你重要的事情放在首位并坚持下去。花更多的时间在个人发展上,培养一个新的爱好,和家人出去或者在公园散步。

我发现减速生活对心理健康的改善作用有限。忙碌不仅是我们社会的步伐,而且是我们的思想。有必要努力使“猴子的思想”平静下来,才能真正享受您的生活。但是减速生活是迈向简单之路的第一步。

BrainTeasers: Joy Of Giving And Sustainable Charity — Filiporean Project

Giving out the stuff to villagers. Image from:   Giving and Taking Free Stuff Facebook Group You don’t have to be rich to donate. All it takes is having a little compassion and willingness to give. —— Dickson Idlier The “Filiporean Project” is started by Freegans In Singapore co-founder, Colin Lau. The project collects small usable items (details in posts from “ Giving and Taking Free Stuff “ Facebook Group) from public donors or dumpster-dived stuff from Freegans In Singapore (FIS) and donates to Filipino maids in Singapore. The main reason is shipping cost is cheapest to the Philippines. This project has caught up in the news and media in Singapore, so more donations have been pouring in so the maids (numbered to 300) are kept very busy.    Colin saw many usable small items when dumpster-diving around his neighborhood but has no use for them. When he found that Filipino maids wanted these items to bless their family, friends, and neighbors back in their village, he...

IdlierStories: Appreciate Everything You Have Got

Positive Brain Facebook Group A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to live for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living altogether." Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically. "Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't need that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have nothing left, period." Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did your wife leave you?" "What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!" "That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically. ...

My Filipino Project Giveaways

The "Filipino Project" is started by Singapore freegan founder, Colin Lau. The project collects usable small items (clothes, bags, kitchenware, luggage, bed sheets, curtains, blankets, stationery, soft toys, plastic toys, shoes, electrical and electronics, lingerie, etc) and gives them to Filipinos. They pack these items into big carton boxes and ship back to their hometown in the Philippines. The Filipino groups pay for the shipping costs usually. These shipped items are then given to their family members, relatives, or church members as some are so poor, they can't afford a meal. Some items are sold to pay for their essentials, like food, electricity, etc. Visayas group that came to my place. Still have 2 ladies that not in the photo as they came later.
