"There is more to life than increasing its speed." - Gandhi
I went to a seminar last night and it was, of course, all
about marketing. I loved it and I learned somethings.
Here's something for you to think about today.
Do you sometimes feel like your life is too rushed or too
complicated?
Do you find yourself WANTING a simpler time?
The Internet's Wikipedia says, "Simplicity is the property,
condition or quality of being simple or un-combined.
It often denotes beauty, purity or clarity.
Simple things are usually easier to explain and understand
than complicated ones.
Simplicity can mean freedom from hardship, effort or confusion.
It can also mean adopting a simpler lifestyle."
There is a plethora of information being thrown at us everyday,
options galore and pressure to buy more stuff and do more things.
I know. I'm a buyer. I love the information and that's what and
why I have this blog. I want to share things with you so if you're
smart, you're reading this at least once a week because in 2011,
I'm posting three times minimum a week.
As you can tell, we are overloaded with decisions that have to
be made.
Even if you're an info junkie like me or someone who thrives on
options, there is benefit in slowing down and simplifying your
life, even if only occasionally.
Simplifying your life - internally and externally - can free up
space and time for you and can lead to more joy and more When I
help doctors, as a marketing consultant, I slow things down for
them because they don't have to think through a lot of marketing.
ALL they have to do is send me a rough draft, and I'll create a
marketing piece that works. It's all about the - Flow.
I'll be working ON your stuff while you're working IN the office.
There are many other ways to simplify your life.
Here are just a few:
-Limit stuff to what you need and cherish. Any more than that is
rubbish
-Spend time in nature instead of at the mall. If you want to
enjoy life, enjoy nature because it is awesome.
-Clear out clutter (internally and externally). You should do this
at least four times a year.
-Be willing to say "no". I know it's hard sometimes, but you have to.
-Eat simply and healthy. This is a no brainer. Eat stuff that is simple
and easy to fix. That saves more time.
-Release complicated, unhealthy relationships. If you're in a bad
relationship, dump it. It may hurt for awhile, but when all the dust clears
you're going to feel GOOD!
-Let go of worrying about the future and "be here now". You can't change
the PAST, and the future is the future. Do what you can about what you're
doing today and then let life happen. It will anyway, so enjoy it.
Q. What could you change/release in your life to create more
simplicity?
After reading this you should have a new awareness, a lesson or a
manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!
No matter how large or small, please record it in your Journal.
It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you
in the Flow.
P.S. Here's a good one for you. Q. Have you written your goals
down in long hand yet? Are you writing at least 10 or your 2011
goals everyday? I mean handwriting them? I'll bet you're not.
That just tells me you're not serious about achieving them, that's
all. If you can write your goals down everyday, you're going to
actually meet them. Woohoo. Wow! Go for it.
