Simplicity


Monday morning is here =) Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of posts last week. I wasn't doing well. It's funny because everytime I see a computer screen a bit too long, I had this nausea and dizzy feeling. Probably it's because of pregnancy =) Have I told you that I'm pregnant with my first baby? I am now..feel so blessed ans happy. Feels like I have to do anything to make the baby healthy and happy always inside my tummy. I am now entering week 14 in which I have passed the first trimester of my pregnancy...really was the hardest time but yet, it's worthwhile =) Hope that everything will always be fine...

So, today I'm going to talk a little bit about how to simplify our life. I sometimes feel like I make my life complicated by doing many things I wasn't supposed to do but I thought those things were important. But then again, those things that I did or I bought turn out to be unimportant. Have you ever felt or did something like that? Well, maybe these tips from Learn This can help us simplify our life =) Have a good day...

Simplify Your Life

  1. Ignore distractions and take advantage of how they often go away on their own.
  2. Don’t answer your phone every time it rings, stay in the moment of whatever you are doing and wait for a message
  3. Turn off your computer, your internet access on your computer or at least your popup notifiers (like email / IM) whenever you can
  4. Turn off your cell phone, don’t carry it constantly or even better, don’t have one! (This is my favorite way to simplify, I don’t have one myself)
  5. Move or buy a house close to work, to avoid driving
  6. Ride your bike or walk to commute and get around
  7. Give away things you no longer use or need
  8. Just buy less stuff
  9. Buy a smaller house than what you think you need (less space is more)
  10. Spend time reading, its a wonderful way to escape the complexities of each day
  11. De-clutter your living space
  12. Get out into nature
  13. Don’t rely on technology gadgets for everything, pen and paper work fine for more than people dare admit nowadays!
  14. Take up a creative hobby. Music, art, writing and building things helps you focus on just one thing.
  15. Finish what you start before switching tasks. One thing at a time
  16. Smile at and say hello to strangers
  17. Do some simple generous deed
