Ep098 - How to Embrace Slow Living and Avoid Hustle Mindset with Dr Natalie Flatt

Are you someone who feels burned out and overworked? Have you been feeling like life is just moving too fast for you lately? If you're looking to slow down and create a slower lifestyle, this episode of the Well Workplaces podcast is just what you need. Today, Tom is joined by Dr Natalie Flatt; the co-founder and CEO of Connect Psych Services. Together, they discuss the notion of slow living and creating a slower lifestyle, something that is increasingly important in today's busy and pressured work environment. Dr Natalie highlights the negative impact of hustle culture, where success is often measured by speed, leading to burnout being all too common in our society. However, by intentionally slowing down, we can combat this and improve both our mental and physical health. They also explore the importance of quality time and relationships, especially in the face of workplace stress. While there is still a mentality in some workplaces that one must do a million things at once, being intentional and focusing on the quality of our time and relationships is what really counts. They discuss the three pillars that can help us create a more intentional and slower lifestyle: intentionality, quality, and conscious effort. By adopting these pillars, we can reduce FOMO and improve our mental health and productivity. Finally, they offer some practical tips and suggestions for slowing down and being more mindful in our daily lives, such as taking deep breaths and turning off the TV during our commute. By focusing on these small changes and habit creation, we can sustainably achieve a slower lifestyle and improve our overall wellbeing. ~ Connect with ⁠⁠Dr Natalie Flatt⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Connect Psych Services⁠ ⁠~ ⁠⁠⁠⁠About Well Workplaces⁠⁠⁠⁠ Well Workplaces is a movement by⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pinnacle Health Group⁠⁠⁠⁠ and our vision is for a world where workplaces lead and create healthier communities.  Well Workplaces podcast has been designed to create genuine wellbeing conversations in the workplace and share expert knowledge in practical ways.
