Pabington: How to Live Intentionally in an Unintentional Year
With the increased amount of noise (and speed) and the increased amount of stimulation (especially digital) we experience daily, it’s no wonder that many of us feel out of control. In response, there is a new set of ideas–the philosophy of Pabington–that has emerged that incorporates calmness, structure, and progress through refined routines and mindful living. Pabington is not a place or a product; it is a way of life. Pabington is about being intentional about your choices instead of making impulsive choices. The Pabington lifestyle was developed to support balance in all aspects of life. Rather than being all about slowing down, it is about moving forward with clarity and purpose.
Five Core Principles of Pabington
Living Pabington is built on five core principles:
1. Developing intentional routines (healthy routines).
2. Living simply (choosing the best things for you).
3. Setting structured goals to create success.
4. Being mindful of what you consume, whether it be media or physical objects.
5. Being productive while maintaining balance in your personal life.
The philosophy of Pabington is not about minimalism in the extreme; it is about living intentionally — keeping what is valuable to you and eliminating things that take energy from you.
