What is slow movement culture

I’m a slow thinker. Not because I’m slow but because I consider every angle and perspective before making a decision. It’s intentional, mindful, and sustainable. That’s why the slow movement culture overlaps with StarCozi living. More than meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, or disconnecting from electronic devices - it’s a space that challenges the contemporary culture’s need for speed.
Drawing on the slow movement culture, StarCozi critiques the futurists pillar that increasing speed promotes innovation, effective change, and creativity. After all, if faster technology, travel, economics, news, food, education, and performance at work was more effective, than why are we culturally more stressed, sleep deprived, burned out at work and working more hours.
StarCozi addresses the intersection of slow behavior, practices, logic, and thought in an attempt to reclaim authentic personal identity in a world consumed with a faster is better mindset full of influence and fakeness.
Principals of the slow movement culture from Medium by Jerry Grzegorzek
Doing things at the right speed.
Enjoying the process rather than looking at the final result.
Trying to accomplish goals as perfectly as possible rather than as quickly as possible.
Always putting quality over quantity in every aspect of life.
“There is more to life than Simply increasing it’s speed.”
