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.

Small but powerful habits that make life easy
In this video, we explore Keystone habits, powerful foundational habits that trigger positive changes in other areas of your life. These habits, when adopted, create a domino effect that simplifies everything else. The first habit is regular exercise, which boosts energy, reduces stress, and encourages better eating and sleeping habits. The second habit is making your bed—a simple morning task that gives you a sense of accomplishment and order. Tracking your expenses is the third habit, helping you become more aware of your finances and improve your saving and budgeting. Similarly, budgeting helps you control your spending, save, and make smarter financial decisions. The fifth habit is starting your day without a screen, allowing you to focus better, reduce stress, and control your urges. Another important habit is avoiding 24-hour news, which helps reduce anxiety and fosters better decision-making. Avoiding debt is crucial for a balanced financial life, while taking a lunch break improves focus, social connections, and productivity. Having a clutter-free home leads to mental clarity and better financial habits, and finally, practicing gratitude enhances resilience and optimism. By focusing on these Keystone habits, you set the foundation for a smoother, more intentional life.
