Simple living is deliberate living. In our current world, it is very difficult to fall into simple living.
Choosing to look at a sunset last week
We have to choose:
- How many hours we are willing to work
- How much TV, if any to watch
- How many information streams you let into your life – blogs, newsletters, twitter, facebook, etc.
- How early we wake up and when we go to bed so we can be refreshed
- How much we want to exercise and move our body
- What types of food to eat
- What to do, what to let go of
- Whether or not to make time for the people in our lives
- When to plan in your passions
We are making choices every day. But, too often we make decisions based on habit or what seems easiest at the time. We need to be deliberate. We need to see what decisions are coming up this week that we will need to decide. And decide with focus and clarity – which will bring me closer to my goals and to a simpler life?
This post is so true. I love the way you broke things down so simply. These are the questions I have been asking my self the last six months.
I so love your tips and blog posts. Perfect reflection! Thanks for sharing.
