The secret of simple living!!!!: Freedom from stress is right here


Simplicity is an underrated secret to living a truly happy and meaningful life. However, it is not as easy to simplify your life as it seems to be. It takes time, effort and development of the right habit attitude. Nonetheless, the result is worth the struggle.
Escape The Panic Mode. 8 out of 10 problems do not require your participation to get them solved. They are tackled by themselves. Too often the complexity of the issue is exaggerated in your mind. Do not enter the panic mode and get worried without a reason. Hit a pause and wait until the things settle.
Avoid Negative People. The world is full of awful things that you will face throughout your life. Therefore there is no need to get around people who will exaggerate the complexity of every single issue. Avoid those who constantly complain, whine and radiate negativity. Hang out with easy going and always positive, smiling people who will charge you with the positive energy and guarantee a great mood.
Get Rid Of Stuff. If you haven`t used a thing or worn some clothes for the last year or two, you are not likely to get back to them again. Become ruthless with the things you do not use for a long time. All they do is add even more mess and complexity to your life. Clean out your house at least once a year. Toss unnecessary stuff out and do your best to avoid clutter.
Do Not Compare Yourself With Others. The tendency to compare ourselves to others is inherent in all human beings. However, this habit has no positive effect on your inspiration, productivity and success. Moreover, it harms them. It never leads to anything good, but rather makes you feel stupid and unmotivated.
Take Time For All Things. Do not rush your life. Great haste usually makes great waste. Slow down for a while. Take a break. Reflect on ambitions, aspirations and opportunities you have. Prioritize the things and figure out what matters the most for you. Avoid multitasking and learn to focus on one task at a time.
Do Not Try To Fix Everything. Sometimes you cannot fix already broken things. The good thing is you do not need to. In most cases, it is not worth the struggle. From broken phone to broken relationships and friendship ties… Everything comes to end at some point. You have to acknowledge this and take it easy if you are not willing to complicate your life. Sometimes, the best decision is to let it go.
Reduce A Number Of Commitments. If you earn a reputation of a person that is always ready to undertake each and every new task and help everybody, you risk becoming overloaded with duties. A huge bunch of commitments is the reason why you always lack time, feel exhausted and depressed. You do not have to be everywhere and do everything. Flex you ‘No’ muscle and soon you will realize how life gets simpler because of fewer tasks, worries and responsibilities.

In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...

Why Entrepreneurs Should Engage Their Spouses in the Business

When her husband first joined a startup, a woman I’ll call Cindy had saved up a comfortable nest egg for her family. Even with several young children, their financial situation was stable enough that their personal risk in the venture seemed minimal. But a year later, when the seed funding dried out and no substantial revenue was forthcoming, things went downhill for them. Her husband stopped receiving a salary, yet continued working and traveling extensively for the company. Cindy had to care for their children, including two toddlers and two autistic preteens, mostly on her own. She begged her husband to find another job, but he didn’t want to leave a business that he had already invested so much in. She offered to go back to work and have him watch the kids; he refused. Within two years, their financial reserves and their children’s college funds had disappeared entirely. Their home was eventually foreclosed on, and the family had to move in with a relative. Onl...
