Simplicity is a Stress Reducer

Simplicity is one of the ways I try to live sanely in a slightly insane world.

Sometimes being simple may suggest the wisdom of having less. " My budget is stretched enough and my closet is already filled with clothes.”

Sometimes being simple may suggest doing less.
" Make one big soup for lunch and eat the leftovers for dinner too.” Or, “Watch one less movie and go to bed early”.

Sometimes being simple may suggest talking less.
Become a better listener. Who knows what pearls of wisdom you might hear, and people will like you a lot more.

Being simple means being peaceful and accepting of the way things are, who you are, and what you already have, right now. It's essence is an inner state of peace.

Sometimes being simple may mean doing less or having less,

But not always.

The powerful part of being simple is

Finding the peace and fullness

within

our own heart.

As we voluntarily choose to be simple,

We may discover within us......

Just waiting for us to notice

The peace

That always

Is.

Being simple does not mean deprivation.

There is fullness within us.

The changing things of this world are not the key to lasting happiness.

When we discover that peace and happiness are

Already within us,

Then being simple can be

Joyful.
