How to Have a Simple Life?
Being simple doesn’t exactly mean being boring. Having a simple life doesn’t exactly translate to drab. It just means prioritizing your life in a more efficient manner and basically also knowing when to say ‘no’. The whole point of simplifying your life is to minimize stress and maximize quality by eliminating what’s disrupting your life and adding on what enhances your living. In simple words, what we mean to say is to firstly identify what really matters in your life and then get rid of what doesn’t. Your life is full of unwanted clutter that prevents you from doing what you really love or spending time with loved ones. Simplifying your life helps to improve your living process by letting you have time for what or who really matters in life according to you. Here’s some advice on how to have a simple life.
The key to a simple life is happiness. The ultimate goal of living is joy. We are a part of a mad rush, facing so much competition that we tend to lose sight of the larger picture. We are so caught up in the rat race that we miss out on the joys of life as they pass. The first step you need to take is to pause, slow down and think. What really matters to you? Family, career, status? Whatever it is, make a note of it. This is your goal, the end result of all your activities and aspirations. Next, think of everything you’ve got going in life. All your current thought processes, activities, hobbies, make a note of everything. Do all of these things complement your goal? What do you love doing most? Does something not fit in? The answers to these questions will provide you with your next steps. Eliminate the things that really don’t help you in the long run. Shortcuts never work, so make an effort to avoid them. Engage in activities that you love and have the passion for as these will ultimately get you near your goal. Plan out accordingly and allocate time to all your activities. Gradually and slowly, your life will be back on track. It just takes a bit of planning and decision-making in order to lead a simple life.
