Do you know what the second mystery in life is all about? In my previous article, I proclaimed the first mystery in life that is so incredibly hard to explain. But, I’m not done yet. There is another mystery that we don’t usually grasp when we first hear about it either.
Want to simplify your life? A simpler life is a better life. Clutter, busyness and disorganization cause stress. They also waste time and energy that could be better spent on more enjoyable activities.
Does Christmas stress you out? Christmas should be simple and enjoyable. It shouldn’t be a time that adds burden to your life. It should be a time of reflection and celebration.
Are you leading a simple life? Most of us probably scoff at that question because are lives are anything, but simple. We have lost sight of the old adage that less is more. The over-consumption and rush to get things done in our world today has us stressed out, buried in debt and on a treadmill to nowhere.
Living life to the fullest has a lot to do with motivation, living within your means and keeping things simple. Failing in any one of these areas will rob you of the best life has to offer.
There is no better time than now to get back to the basics in living. We are facing a lot of unknowns which means that many of us are hunkering down a bit. I think this is a very good idea.
I decided I wanted to pursue a simpler life for several reasons – I wanted to save more money to invest in my child’s future, I wanted more time to spend on the things that matter most to me, and I wanted to reduce my impact on the environment.
Do you have clutter? I’m sure you do. We all have clutter to one degree or another. But clutter drains your energy. You can’t possibly have a “Super Charged Life” if you are dealing with clutter.
Global economic crisis, bailouts and a recession fill the news. The economy is not doing well, but I think this will make for one of the best Christmas seasons that we’ve had in recent years. The recession and bailouts have dominated the airwaves and blogosphere recently. Retailers seem to be flipping out, the automakers are whining so loud it is deafening, and the media is having a field day with it all.
A simple life is a good life. Voluntary simplicity is the act of consciously choosing to live with enough, but without excess. Simplicity is not about depriving oneself or living in ultra-sparse conditions. Living simply is about reducing the clutter and narrowing down one’s possessions, engagements, and thoughts to something more manageable. It is about eliminating the noise to find the essence of the good life.
