Hi friend,

Welcome to slowmaxxing season.

You’ve probably seen “slowmaxxing” all over Instagram lately.
It’s the idea of opting out of urgency and letting life move more slowly.

During the holidays, the world wants us to rush. Buying. Posting.

Proving we’re doing this season right.
More plans. More photos. More everything.

But here’s the quieter truth:
Our nervous systems are begging for less.
Less pressure to make this holiday more meaningful, and Instagram-worthy all at once.

If you’re celebrating today, we hope it’s everything you want.
If you’re not, we hope it lands gently.

However, it looks for you, slowmaxxing is allowed.

Slowmaxxing

Pick a moment today or this week and make it intentionally slow, or taking the time that it takes.

Leave your phone in another room.
Light a candle.
Do a puzzle. Pet the cat or the dog. Listen to the whole album without skipping.

No multitasking.

This is slowmaxxing.

It’s not doing nothing.
It’s doing one thing at a time and letting that be enough.

Slowmaxxing is:

  • Reading the long book

  • Taking the slow walk

  • Watching as many holiday movies in a row as you want

  • Making coffee like it’s a ceremony

  • Ignoring your phone, on purpose

Call it a tiny rebellion.
Call it recovery.
Call it sacred if you want.

Less doing. More being.

💡 Why It Works

Slowmaxxing works because your brain isn’t built for constant stimulation, decision-making, and task-switching, even when the tasks are small.

When you’re moving quickly between tasks, your nervous system stays in a low-level stress response. You might not feel panicked, but your body is still bracing, always scanning, always responding, never fully settling.

Single-focus, low-demand activities, like reading, walking, listening to music, or making something, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your body responsible for rest, digestion, and recovery.

That shift tells your brain:

  • Nothing urgent is required right now

  • There’s no threat to respond to

  • It’s safe to release tension

Over time, these moments of intentional slowness help:

  • Lowers cortisol (stress hormones)

  • Restores attention and mental clarity

  • Improves emotional regulation and resilience

This is why slowmaxxing doesn’t just feel good, it’s stabilizing.
It gives your nervous system contrast from constant demand.

Slowness is how your body recalibrates.
