http://www.slowfood.com/"Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
Today, we have over 100,000 members in 132 countries."
Appreciate the now, and what is right in front of you.
Stop living in the past and the future.
The very first part of the slow movement began in 1986, simply as a reaction to fast food. When a McDonalds restaurant was opening in the Piazza de Spagna, Rome, Italian food enthusiast Carlo Petrini became infuriated by the spread of American fast food. EW right. Petrini was the man who founded the Slow Food Organisation. GENIUS. The Slow Food Organisation isn't just about food however. Slow down your LIFE. Stop being a Workaholic, take some play time and appreciate it slowly, take up new cute hobbies, READ, catch up with friends and LISTEN because you want to, time is of the essence but noone wants a friend who talks talks talks and doesnt listen. Life is NOT a race. Slow doen your transport, your exercise...travel by bicycle rather than car, walk rather than run, take up yoga, tai chi, pilates... The idea is not to do everything at the speed of a snail, being slow often means living at the right speed, giving each task the time and attention it deserves, being more creative and productive, having deeper connections, defending the environment instead of destroying it... Living life rather than rushing through it. There is no reason why you can't start right now ;)
Meat free & positivity ;)
