DO YOU KNOW HOW MOST OF US PACK TOO MUCH INTO THE DAY AND CLUTTER OUR LIVES WITH TOO MANY THINGS TO DO AND TOO MUCH IN OUR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT? THIS CAUSES US TO FEEL EXHAUSTED WITH TOO MANY THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH. READ ON TO LEARN 5 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE THROUGH SIMPLIFICATION.
1. KEEP IT SIMPLE.
REMOVE UNNECCESSARY THINGS IN YOUR LIFE. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO TAKE ACTION TOWARD ELIMINATING CLUTTER FROM YOUR LIFE? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO REMOVE FROM YOUR LIFE FOR EMBRACING A "LESS IS MORE ATTITUDE"?
2. ELIMINATE YOUR TO DO LIST AND A NEED FOR BUSY-NESS.
IF YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME TO DO LIST ON A LIST OF CHORES THAT YOU HAD A MONTH AGO, ELIMINATE THE LIST TO STOP THIS ENERGY DRAIN. YOU NEED TO STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR MOST IMPORTANT IDEA.
3. EXTEND BOUNDARIES.
THE PARAMETERS YOU SET SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO RELATE TO YOU ARE CALLED BOUNDARIES. THEY KEEP OTHERS INFORMED AS TO WHAT YOU WILL ALLOW. ONCE YOU HAVE SET ADEQUATE BOUNDARIES, YOU WILL FEEL RESPECTED AND YOUR INTEGRITY WILL BE IN PLACE. YOU WILL HAVE GAINED MORE PEACE BY SAYING NO TO ALL THE PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT YOU HAVE OUTGROWN. ONE BENEFIT OF SETTING BOUNDARIES IS THAT YOUR STRESS LEVEL WILL BE REDUCED AND YOU WILL ELIMINATE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT OR NEED. THIS WILL NATURALLY LEAD YOU TO MAKING CHOICES THAT HAVE HIGHER PRIORITIES FOR YOU.
4. CREATE YOUR VISION IN LINE WITH YOUR VALUE.
IN ORDER TO SET PRIORITIES FOR YOUR VISION ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO DECIDE WHY YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS IN YOUR LIFE NOW. WHAT VALUE OF YOURS DOES IT SERVE? HOW WILL THIS SERVE YOU AND WHAT WILL IT BRING TO YOU IN THE NEXT YEAR?
5. PROACTIVELY MAKE PLANS FOR FUN AND SIMPLICITY.
CREATE A SIMPLE PLAN WITH PROACTIVE STEPS THAT INCLUDE THINGS YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO. GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO ALLOW YOURSELF TO SLOW DOWN. YOU ARE MEANT TO HAVE PERIODS OF JUST BEING. WHEN YOU GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK YOU WILL NATURALLY THINK MORE CLEARLY. IF YOU FEEL FAMISHED FOR TIME, LOOK AT WAYS TO PRIORITIZE AND SCHEDULE FEWER ACTIVITIES AND CHANGE THE PACE BY PURPOSEFULLY ALLOWING SOME FUN TIME IN YOUR SCHEDULE TO REFLECT ON THE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE.
THESE TOOLS MAY ASSIST YOU IN CREATING A MORE BALANCED AND SIMPLIFIED LIFE. YOUR GOAL IS TO SHAVE DOWN YOUR SCHEDULE SO YOU FEEL ENERGIZED BY YOUR PLANS AND ACTIVITIES VS. EXHAUSTED BY A HECTIC PACE THAT LACKS IN FULFILLMENT OF THE JOURNEY. I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS QUOTE BY SHAKTI GAWAIN: "PROSPERITY IS THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING PLENTY OF WHAT WE TRUELY NEED AND WANT IN LIFE, MATERIAL AND OTHERWISE."
ASK YOURSELF HOW YOU CAN STACK THE DECK IN YOUR FAVOR OF ACHIEVING A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE THIS MONTH.
