WnWHS ~ Quick Questions ~ Simplify Your Life

One good way to simplify is not clutter your mind with so many things....I know I get anxiety/overwhelmed when I have too many things going at once.

From a physical point of view...make better choices of what you put in your body. Treat it like you would anything else that you are truly passionate about.

From a psychological point of view...do the same...”prioritize”...what yuh think about and focus on...making/putting “me” at the top of the list...

You are no good to anyone or anything if you are not stress free both physically and mentally! 🤗

I think taking a walk each day helps physically and mentally. Just a 10-20 minute walk in your neighborhood area 5-7 days a week - first thing or at the end of a day really helps you focus and gives you a chance to just breathe. While walking be thankful for at least one thing in your life and choose one thing to accomplish by end of the day. Taking life on in these small daily chunks helps simplify everything:)

Apparently, for me, the answer to decluttering is to move! I moved last year and downsized from a very large home to half the size. Still have too much stuff, and going through it right now... question was very a propos for me today!! 🏠

I simplified my life a long time ago by learning to say NO to people. You should always come first in your life. And actually, this is a Biblical principle. Yes, I love helping others, but how can I help them effectively when I haven't helped myself.

Matthew 7: 3-5

3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

So, to finish the thought above (sorry), I guess the key for me is to simplify my life by de-cluttering 😃 How did I get all this stuff??

However, similar to cynaemon, above, I too simplified my life years ago by saying goodbye to "faux friends" that only wanted me to give to them (my time, money, work, etc). If I did not comply, they would treat me poorly until the next time they wanted something. I cut them loose, and since, have chosen my friends more carefully.
