40 Slow Down Quotes

 Slow down quotes demonstrate the vital need to take life just a little bit easier. To slow down does not mean to languish in poor productivity or to adopt an attitude of completing tasks in a tortuous slow-motion methodology. Instead, to slow down simply means that there is much more to life than the constant frenzy of doing something with every minute of the day.

To enjoy life, to appreciate the beauty of what lies in front of you or all around you requires you to stop for a moment to absorb all aspects of life. This may mean that instead of spending hours in front of a television, you instead take a leisurely stroll through a park, a forest path, or beside a babbling brook. Maybe it means spending more quality time with your children rather than being a constant "go to" taxi cab to drive them to a host of activities outside of your family environment. You decide - after all, it is a choice you can control.
