8 Latin american habits for a slow & simple life
In this video, I share eight valuable Latin American habits that promote a slow and simple life, offering a contrast to the stressful, fast-paced lifestyle many of us live in the U.S. Drawing from my experience in Ecuador, I highlight how embracing a slower pace can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment. Learn the art of walking slowly, savoring the journey rather than rushing to the destination. Discover the importance of making time for lunch—a cherished tradition in Latin America—where lunch is the biggest meal of the day, unlike the rushed dinners typical in the U.S. Embrace spontaneity, as Latin Americans often engage in unplanned visits or socializing, bringing more adventure and joy to everyday life. Understand the beauty of embracing free things, as many in Latin America find happiness in simple, cost-free pleasures like family gatherings and outdoor activities. Lowering expectations and accepting the chaos of life are key to reducing stress and finding peace amidst unpredictability. Enjoy life’s minuscule tasks, which offer unexpected experiences and connection with others, and finally, learn the concept of working to live, not living to work. These habits can help you enjoy a richer, simpler, and more rewarding life.
