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.
