Simplify your Life

Simplify your Life

Our ego-self tries to kid us that happiness lies 'out there' in success, wealth, power, possessions or romance. Deep down, we all know that this isn't true, yet most of us have been seduced by the false promises of Hard Time - working harder, buying more, aiming higher and taking on even more commitments. We end up juggling so many demands and roles that it is impossible to relax and enjoy life.

Enough is Enough letting go of clutter and details which weigh us down, and being much more choosy about how we spend our time and money. When our outer world is simpler, our inner world of thoughts and feelings tends to be simpler too and (as I know from my own experience) with a slower pace of life, it becomes easier to see what really matters, and to enjoy the simple pleasure of life.

If you feel an inner pull towards simplicity, grab a pen and paper, and 'go within' ; then ask your higher wisdom: 'What do I need to do to simplify my life? Be open to the possibility of making big changes - Such as moving to a smaller house, leaving the city, resigning from your job of going part-time, or throwing out your entire wardrobe. Or you might feel moved to take small, easy steps at first - such as not listening to the news, shopping less often or limiting your wardrobe to two or three basic colours which suits you. Trust your heart - and take action!

I enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
