we often rush through tasks,
trying to get them done,
trying to finish as much as we can each day,
speeding along in our cars
to our next destination,
rushing to do what we need to do there,
and then leaving so that
we can speed to our next destination.
Unfortunately, it’s often not until we get
to our final destination that we realize
what madness this all is
At the end of the day,
we’re often exhausted and stressed
out from the grind and the chaos
and the busy-ness of the day.
We don’t have time for what’s important to us,
for what we really want to be doing,
for spending time with loved ones,
for doing things we’re passionate about.
And yet, it doesn’t have to be that way.
It’s possible to live a simpler life,
one where you enjoy each activity,
where you are present in everything
(or most things) you do,
where you are content rather than rushing to finish things.
If that appeals to you,
let’s take a look at some suggestions
for living a simple,
peaceful, content life:
What’s important.
First, take a step back and think about what’s important to you.
What do you really want to be doing,
who do you want to spend your time with,
what do you want to accomplish with your work
?
1___Examine your commitments
we certainly can’t enjoy life
if we’re trying to do everything.
Accept that you can’t do everything
2__Do less each day
.
Don’t fill your day up with things to do.
You will end up rushing to do them all.
3___Leave space between tasks or appointments.
4__Now, slow down and enjoy every task
Try to enjoy whatever you’re doing.
Try to pay attention,
instead of thinking about other things
5__eat slower
7__Eliminate stress.
Find the stressors in your life,
and find ways to eliminate them
Create time for solitude
Sprinkle simple pleasures throughout your day.
and putting a few of them in each day,
can go a long way
to making life more enjoyable.
Make frugality an enjoyable thing too_
