Slowvember: A Month Long Intention to Slow Down

Have you ever felt that life is moving at breakneck speed, and you're just trying to keep up? I know I have. I have 5 kids, a business, a dog, a husband, and a full calendar. We all know the feeling - the rush, the constant demands, the hectic schedules. In the midst of it all, we often forget to take a moment for ourselves, to slow down and reflect. That's where Slowvember comes in.

What is Slowvember?

Slowvember is a month-long journey of intentional living, mindfulness, and self-discovery through the power of journaling. It's a movement to hit pause on life's fast-forward button and savor each moment. As November approaches, it's the perfect time to immerse yourself in this transformative experience.

At its core, Slowvember encourages you to embrace the practice of journaling as a tool for self-reflection, gratitude, and personal growth. It's an opportunity to connect with your inner self, explore your thoughts and emotions, and appreciate the beauty in the ordinary moments of life. I created this challenge with a busy life in mind. I will be setting aside 5-10 minutes per day to journal using one of my writing prompts. I am inviting you to do the same. Most of us have at least 5-10 minutes to spare, so join the challenge.
