When you become a parent, you begin to see the world in an entirely different way. Suddenly, as well as experiencing much more joy, previously unseen risks can become all too obvious. Many parents also find that the suffering of other children starts to take far more of an emotional toll, and may even drive them towards action that they’ve never considered before. 

This can manifest in a range of different ways, including regular charitable contributions or a desire to volunteer at things like fundraising events for kids in need. However, for some parents, this sudden realization of the hardships children face can result in a far more pressing and life-changing need – the desire to become a foster parent. 

By literally bringing children into your home when they have nowhere else to go, it’s certainly possible to have the most direct impact. The question is, when you already have a happy family life at home, how exactly do you go about introducing the idea of foster care in the first place?

When we hope to indulge in food or make the most of a festive event, it’s not uncommon for many of us to eat plenty of heavy carbs and fattening foods, those that make us feel like we could sleep for two weeks after eating them. Of course, there is some utility in this after all, as we can’t eat perfectly all the time, and sometimes, indulgent food is not necessarily unhealthy food.

That said, it’s also important to recognize that the foods we might consume at these times can have a net effect on how we socialize, or how we plan the rest of our day. We shouldn’t have to feel like hibernating after enjoying a snack after a good workout. Is there a way in which we can lighten up our approach to food and to make indulgences less impactful, while retaining all the sense of satiety and enjoyment that we wished for?

We believe that’s the case, and in this post we’ll discuss how that can be achieved:

Life does not always have to be frenetic, fast-paced, and demanding. Slowing down can help you appreciate the little things in life, find beauty every day, and romanticize your existence, all of which can make you happier and more fulfilled. There are numerous ways to do this, and they aren't all the same for everyone because we all have different interests and aspirations, but here are some ideas to get you started on making this summer simpler and quieter. Slow living is slowing down and buying fewer, higher-quality items - stepping off the treadmill and going at your own pace, resisting the present need to amass more and more goods, and appreciating what we already have.  Slow living advocates for a more considered approach to life, challenging the notions that being busy equates to being relevant, that being wealthy means more possessions, and that we must keep up with the never-ending demands of modern life in order to be effective.
