Simplify

(from “Befuddled? Live the Life You Choose!)

HOW DO WE SIMPLIFY???

Here are four steps that have helped me.?

1. Slow Down?

2. Declutter?

3. Reduce Activity?

4. Rest and Breathe?

SLOW DOWN??

This one is hard for me because I tend to want? to do everything and I over commit. Sometimes? we have to say no and slow down.??

Life moves so fast and we are often at the? mercy of our schedule and our commitments.? We are so activity oriented and accomplishment? driven, we often lose sight of the real reason we? exist. Our “Why” gets lost in the business of life.? We need to slow down, refocus, and enjoy the? life we are living. Enjoy our Journey.

DECLUTTER??

Remove things from your life that are? unnecessary. Get things in a more simple and? clean approach.??

This requires removing physical clutter as well? as mental clutter. Mental clutter is one of the? biggest detractors! If we let our minds wander? with negative thoughts that befuddle us, we lose? control and let clutter seep in. If however, we take control and talk to ourselves, proactively,? infusing positive thoughts and giving ourselves? a can-do pep talk, we take control of our minds? and the situation, thus decluttering our life.??

It is a choice we have to make daily, even? moment by moment!?

REDUCE ACTIVITY?

This requires making choices and slowing down? enough to be intentional about the activities we? are choosing to partake in.??

We must be more selective in what we’re doing.? When we are more selective and choose our? activities wisely, we don’t spread ourselves so? thin and keep things more simple. This is a very? important key to not overwhelming ourselves? and adding stress by our own activities. We? so easily get caught up in doing things that we? overdo them! We need to leave time for what’s? important in life, like family and friends.

?REST AND BREATHE?

Take a step back and rest once and awhile.? Recharge. It will give you a clearer perspective.??

Author and speaker Joyce Meyer says … “I believe that the greatest gift?

you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.”?

Choose a healthy you!

Remember…

You can Live the Life You Choose!

Blessings!
