Mindfulness in Daily Life – Slowing Down

Last Updated on July 15, 2026 by Matthew Sockolov Today’s episode is the first in a series of Mindfulness in Daily Life. As laypeople, we spend most of our days interacting with the world. Although meditation is a useful tool, we can also benefit from bringing our mindfulness practice off the cushion and into everyday life. This first episode covers the simple idea of slowing down. The simple act of slowing down can make a significant difference in our ability to be mindful and present during the day. We’ll talk about why slowing down is important, why we rush through our days, and a few techniques you can use to be more mindful and deliberate with your actions.
