SIMPLICITY IS A PART OF LIFE THAT I really love. It's revolutionary when you start applying it in your life. Simplicity is not new; it has been practiced for example by Buddhists for a long time. Simplicity is the art of voluntary minimalist, in other words, less is more. It's about simplifying your life and you get a lot of benefits from living like that.
Simplicity can be practiced in all areas of life. We can begin to sort things at home by throwing or giving all the objects that we have not used for a while. In our life, we have far too many material possessions. It is like barricading ourselves with all these objects, giving us the illusion of security to protect ourselves from the politics of fear induced by the government and the media. But it is a false illusion of security, and the accumulation of material goods only makes us a slave to them.
Have you ever noticed how much people attach to their material objects?
Accumulating ever more material goods does not make happiness. It is even the opposite. With few possessions, you feel so much freer and so much more flexible!
Simplicity also concerns food: it is useless to have 5 stoves, 5 pans and cupboards full to crack. We are in a period of abundance, of course, but it is useless to stock up for 6 months or to have equipment to serve 20 people.
Clean up and simplify your life.
Practicing simplicity means making the choice to buy fewer, quality things. It is good to be satisfied with the simple pleasures of life: to read a good book, to look at the stars, to bathe, to watch a sunset, to take a walk in the nature, to appreciate a social interaction. As you can see, this can affect all areas of your life: possessions, relationships, information, food, cosmetics, and many more.
Now ask yourself, "What is the smallest action I can do that will simplify my life to the full?"
