Lessons for Making Your Life Simple Again



Not simpler as in “meager.” Simpler as in “meaningful.” 

You really don't need some scary, life-threatening diagnosis or major crisis to wake you up. And no one needs to tell you because you already know. 
Your inner voice has been trying to tell you for awhile now, but in case it's been a challenge to find time and space to listen through the chaos, maybe you'll resonate with one of these situations:

1. If your life is on auto-pilot and you're always feeling worn down and stressed out, this is your wake-up call.
2. If you never put yourself first, this is your wake-up call.
3. If you've become someone you don't recognize to please other people or to chase some version of success that doesn't resonate with you, this is your wake-up call.
4. If you are constantly numbing out with food, shopping, booze, TV, or other distractions, this is your wake-up call. 


I’ve been working on eliminating many of life’s complexities so I'm able to spend more time with people we love and do more activities we love. 
This means I've been gradually getting rid of mental and physical clutter, and eliminating all but the essential, so I'm left with only that which gives me value: 

1. You can’t live a simpler life if you’re unwilling to let go of what you’re used to.
2. Letting go of old routines and habits, and building new ones, can be hard, but it’s easier if you do a 30-day challenge. Let go of something for 30 days and see how it affects your life. 
3. When we travel lightly, we’re freer, less burdened, and less stressed. This applies to traveling through life too, not just traveling through an airport.
4. Decluttering your physical space can lead to a less cluttered mental space. These visual distractions pull on us and distract us in more ways than we often realize.
5. Overthinking is one of the most rampant sources of stress (mental clutter). The key is to realize that the problem is not the problem. The problem is the incredible amount of overthinking you’re doing with the problem. Let it go and be free.
6. Positivity always pays off in simplifying outcomes. So before you waste it on anger, resentment, spite or envy, think of how precious and irreplaceable your time is.
7. The simplest secret to happiness and peace in the present is letting every circumstance be what it is, instead of what you think it should be, and then making the best of it. 

Sometimes we've to experience what we don't want in life to come to a full understanding of what we truly want!

A sensibilidade é um super poder

Afinal o Principezinho está certo: "É muito simples: só se vê bem com o coração. O essencial é invisível para os olhos."
