Simple living is a choice. It’s the decision to declutter your life, your house, your mind and your body. By removing distractions we can really find what it important in our life. I am aiming to live more simply and spend less time doing unimportant things.
The best way to start simple living is to make of list of four or five things which are most important to you. Make them very specific. This may take time and lots of editing, they might change as life changes, flow with that.
Once you have found what is important to you, begin to look at what is creating noise in your life. For example that TV series you are watching. Is it really important to you? Sometimes you are committing hours of your life over a span of years to watch all the episodes. What about Digital clutter? Look at your Todo list. Is that cluttered also. What about the room you are in?
No one is perfect. As i write this i have a pile of bin bags full of papers i have sorted out ready to go to recycling. It is a process and you have to start somewhere.
Simple living can go to extremes. You don’t need to live like a minimalist to enjoy living simply. It's about recognising what enriches you live and what doesn’t.
I plan to explore simple living more in later Blog posts.
