I Live Simply

I live simply.

Simplicity makes me wiser and stronger. I choose quality over quantity and spend more time doing what I love.

I slow down. I focus on being productive rather than being busy. I take frequent breaks while I am working in order to consider my purpose and renew my energy.

I reduce my possessions and shrink my to-do list. I buy and keep only those items I need or that bring me joy. I do only the tasks that align with my values.

I spend less time online. I check my email twice a day and visit social media sites only when I have something specific to accomplish. I set daily limits on how long to spend browsing the internet, playing games, or streaming videos.

I turn down the noise. I listen more than I talk.

I manage stress. I find relaxation practices that work for me, such as meditation or massage. I exercise regularly and build a strong support system. I talk with friends and family when an issue is troubling me.

I am content with what I have. I remember that my happiness comes from within.

I connect with nature. I enjoy watching sunsets and listening to thunderstorms. I walk through the woods with my children and bring home leaves and stones for home decorations and crafts.

Today, I free myself from distractions and complications. I discover the joys of living a simple life.
