A Popular Trend of Recent Years: Slowing Down
I am so busy! It has become one of the sentences we hear most often lately. Especially people living in metropolitan cities have become a tongue-twister. However, no one has shown a sensitive behavior towards this sentence. On the other hand, this concept of intensity has given birth to another point of view. If you are busy, you are creating, producing and even becoming someone important.
And what about the feelings and psychology of the people who are dragged through all this intensity? Constantly tired, unhappy, angry and eventually burnout syndrome that comes with it. Let's stop it for a healthy life.
Have you heard of the concept of Slow City?
Slow cities are places that exist all over the world, and for decades, while we have been struggling to survive in chaos, their inhabitants have been going about their lives slowly and joyfully. The ultimate goal here is to be able to breathe in and out in a serene and calm environment where you can live life to the fullest, away from stress, anxiety and the witches' cauldron.
Cittaslow Destinations in Turkey
Seferihisar, Izmir is the first slow town in Turkey. Seferihisar is an exact reflection of the 'Cittaslow' concept, which adopts the model of a calm and healthy lifestyle.
Gökçeada, Çanakkale; this is the world's first slow island. An island that does not want to be one of the homogeneous places created by globalization, an island that everyone should see with its nostalgic houses, natural life and organic products while preserving its local identity and characteristics.
The Positive Side of Slowness
According to the creators of the Cittaslow movement, life cannot be good unless it is lived at a slow pace. Rethinking our behavior means changing not only our lifestyle and routine, but also the way we produce and consume. We encourage you to allow this movement to take different forms in different areas of your life!
