Life is a series of events happening to and with human beings. It’s completely your choice to bypass these events and live them. A simple life is more joyous than luxurious life. A simple life is always a luxury, but a luxurious life cannot be simple.
From simplicity, it does not mean boredom, unhappy faces, less money and no purpose in life. Simple means easy and less complicated. Life can be simple with tender and unique habits and living it thoroughly and mindfully.
Here I will unfold four ways in which someone leads a simple life.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness means presence and awareness. But, have you ever thought about what kind of presence it is? It is the presence of YOU. You are in the moment and fully living that moment, subtracting the feeling of future happenings and the past.
It is the feeling of tranquillity and peace which sucks out anxieties, worries and depression from a being. And a very simple form of achieving mindfulness is meditation. Meditation dissolves the roots of all problems and makes life simple and easy. Far from fuss.
Do not overthink
Overthinking is as addictive as drugs and as dangerous as poison. Overthinkers are never satisfied with themselves. They are not aware of what they are doing. Thinking of useless thoughts, again and again, is as unnecessary as walking on a river.
Quit the habit of overthinking by simply watching your thoughts. Eventually, you are keeping those thoughts that are useful for you and discarding them that are not important to you. In this way, they do not become a part of you. You are clinging to your day and night.
Declutter things and self
Declutter your life with things and thoughts you do not need any more. Things are the unwanted burden on your home and self so as the thoughts in mind. Decluttering things that are no more of use, creates more space and room for new things.
But, it does not mean you pile up new things that are not needed by you. Decluttering junk is another way of loving yourself and life in a more open and caring way.
Eat Right and Less
“You are what you eat”. A person eating more is never a healthy being. Eating less food and eating the right food is one way to create a simple life. Heavy foods are a burden for your body. But, simple light and right eating will do wonders for you.
Eating less is a way to love your body, which is given to you by ALLAH and you have to take care of it instead of neglecting it.
Connected with Nature
Loving nature and making a delicate connection with it is the best way to live a simple life. Because nature is as simple as a watered plain, it unfolds itself to you. By loving nature you will create a road to love yourself. Praising nature is a way of nurturing yourself in your mother's hands.
Nature is calm, serene and peaceful, away from chaos, drama and dilemma. As you start loving nature you will become as simple as walking and so is your life.
Conclusion
Living a simple and peaceful life is a habit and lifestyle, rather than a choice. Simple life leads to more ideas and more success for the being. Converting you into a simple, decent and successful human being and living an impression of goodness in your life. As per the saying “Simplicity is the Best”. Are you living a simple life? What are your thoughts and comments on this?
