SIMPLICITY- Quality or condition of being easy to understand or do.

Clarity, Simpleness, Intelligibility, understandibility, accessibility.

Reading this, I thought don’t we all want one or another of these words ito incorporate in our lives. More straightforwardness, more EASY around us.

Then why Life is not SIMPLE now ?

Since last two years I am on journey of simplifying my life. I’ve realized its not normal to be simple anymore. BIG House, More stuff, Full wardrobe and more gadgets, constant comparisons are norms of life.

It was overwhelming to pick one area of life to start. So I did what I do best, made  a list of all needed my attention.

My Health, Relationships, Time, Finances, Personal Growth, Travel & Contribution.

I recently went through 2 big Losses, My Mother and 20 weeks Miscarriage. Both losses were more than I can handle. During that ordeal, it kept crossing my mind, we all really come with limited time, life is not forever Why we always wait for later years to reflect on life & make it better?  Why not now, Why not today when time is real , life is real ?

What if we start valuing each day. Zoom in on important things and not worry about less important.

What will help me to focus on my important things in the rut of everyday life?

After lot of reading and introspection It came out that its all about TIME, SPACE & CLARITY OF MIND.

So first step was to clear my space of living. There goes all the unnecessary stuff out my house, stuff waiting to be used or not touched for 6 months to year. The instant effect of  decluttering was more time to think and spend with my precious 3.5 yr old Daughter. I was not thinking about the next thing to buy. I came out of stuffocation. It was Simplifying by not buying anymore & living content with what was left. Minimal stuff with maximum difference.

Next came Health and other listed areas of life. Believe me when I say , I had to break rules learned so far. In pursuing simplicity I discovered my true self. These small changes raised quality of my life like never before.

If you’d like to know what all changes helped me & my family to live rich life everyday, please subscribe.

In hope of discovering myself more deeper and making you part of my Simplifying Journey.

    I think we are on very similar journeys! I started my journey by focusing on being mindful and intentional about money, but I think all of our everyday choices add up to how much meaning we have in our lives. I look forward to reading more!

      Hi Melanie, Thanks for reading the blog. I’m excited to know to that you are focusing on everyday life choices which collectively make a huge difference in due time. I believe that’s also one way of following simplicity in our lives by doing small things effectively. Its all so linked health/finances/personal growth. All becomes easier if we are mindful & simple.
