Burnt-Out Adults Are Embracing “Soft Living”, And Honestly, It’s The Mental Break We All Desperately Need


Soft living is essentially living life with ease. Do not mistake it for living a stress-free or worry-free life—but rather a life where you prioritize peace and calm, even when it feels like you are stuck in a storm.

Adults have grown up with the mentality that working more gets you more rewards in life, and this hustle culture has pushed us all to our limits, emotionally and mentally. It can be the smallest things—like taking on more work because you want that promotion, or saying ‘yes’ to a plan with friends, even though you are exhausted. Soft living is the practice of putting your needs and calm first, and living your reality as you want—guilt-free.
