How To Simplify Your Life

Показать описание

What many of us long for more than anything else is a simpler life; we feel overwhelmed by our responsibilities, schedules, commitments and obligations. This is a film about how to create the simpler life we deserve.

FURTHER READING

“It is well understood by good parents that life should only ever get so exciting for a baby: after friends have come around and brought presents and made animated faces, after there has been some cake and some cuddles, after there have been a lot of bright lights and perhaps some songs too, enough is enough. The baby will start to look stern and then burst into tears and the wise parent knows that nothing is particularly wrong (though the baby may by now be wailing): it is just time for a nap. The brain needs to process, digest and divide up the welter of experiences that have been ingested, and so the curtains are drawn, baby is laid down next to the soft toys and soon it is asleep and calm descends. Everyone knows that life is going to be a lot more manageable again in an hour.”

when i was younger, i imagined a life with the "big dogs", going from city to city on business, having a large house and a night life. Now after all the "noise", both at work and at home, all i want is a debt free life, a safe small home, a healthy diet and lifestyle, a non-toxic inner circle, and everything within walking distance. i just want to see the sun shine.

In the words of the late Alan Watts. “The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

It's all FOMO. We're convinced that if we have free time, it means that we are either lazy or are losers.

I’ve deleted all social media accounts other than YouTube. Best decision I’ve made!

Honestly the stuff about news is so true. I can’t tell how many times my parents or friends will stress themselves about things happening 1000s of miles away, but proceed to ignore the problems and joys that are three feet away from them.

It's funny when you consider these things:
Some people tell to strive in life, others say to stay calm.
Some people tell to control/ reduce sleep, others say to increase it.
Some people tell to earn more money, others say to stay low because money cant buy happiness.
Some people tell to be more social, others say to be less.
Some people tell to try to understand the philosophies of life, others say to ignore philosophies.

The truth is, you gotta live your life as it pleases you. The standards given by people will always keep you at unrest mode.
