工作压力大、生活节奏快，好像我们只能用花钱来舒缓压力了，直接导致的结果就是“月光”或者入不敷出。其实，放下那些奢华的想法，过一过简单生活会让我们的心灵更充实。国外把这种生活理念叫做downshifting（为生活减速）。
Downshifting is a social behavior or trend in which individuals live simpler lives to escape from the rat race of obsessive materialism and to reduce the “stress, overtime, and psychological expense that may accompany it.” It emphasizes finding an improved balance between leisure and work and focusing life goals on personal fulfillment and relationship building instead of the all-consuming pursuit of economic success.
Downshifting（为生活减速）是人们为了逃离过度物质的生活，减少“压力、加班，以及随之而来的心理消耗”而选择的更加简单的生活方式。“为生活减速”强调寻求休闲和工作之间的平衡，更加注重自我实现以及人际关系的建立等生活目标，而不是单纯的支出型经济成就感。
Slowing down the pace of life and spending time meaningfully while not spending money wastefully are principle values of downshifting.
