Why is life so uncomplicated for children and seems so tough for us? In today’s busy life, when it’s not just necessary to keep up appearances with neighbors and relatives, but also with the extended social network, life can get overwhelming. Here are some of the steps that bring some sanity back to my life.
Get your priorities right: Make a list of things that you really value and love. That should be the reason for all that you do. It might be music, your career or in my case it’s my family. Time is the only commodity that you can’t buy back, so be very careful who or how you spend it When we get our priorities right in life, you have a reason for every decision you take and life becomes more focused and easier to manage.
Learn to say “no”: There are so many unnecessary things that complicate our life, our so called “Friends”, stuff we buy, long dead emotions that we keep alive, unresolved issues and other emotional baggage that are redundant and not relevant in our life now. Make a list of things/people that don’t bring joy in your life. Do you really need them – how much time/energy do you spend on them? Learn to say no to people and issues that don’t matter and simplify your life.
Organize your Life: It’s so easy to drift away, to get carried away – maybe its shopping, maybe its forming relations, adding “friends” on Facebook etc. After you have weeded out the unnecessary, make sure to keep it simple and organized. Keep limited space in closet – limited hangers, if you buy something new; be sure to discard something old. Nurture yourself and your relationships to develop healthy self-esteem.
Develop simple pleasures: The best things in life are free. Learn to enjoy the sunsets, the flower in the garden or simply the chirping of the birds or simply browsing through some old pictures. Develop relations that are meaningful, to be embraced in positive energy and love.
Give up: Sometimes you have to give up on old habits in order to make life easier. I had the habit of cooking every meal fresh, but when I got busier, just trying to keep up with it everyday got me frustrated. I had to find a happy medium of prepping for the meals on the weekends and delegating more chores to the kids. Flexibility and compromise definitely help in simplifying life.
