In today's world, where a plenitude of social obligations and boundless digital distractions nearly drown out the voice of simplicity, it is even more prudent to connect with the inner voice and identify with who we truly are. everything in our lives takes up space, from mental to physical to even calendar, but unfortunately, we only have so much room to accommodate.
As another year unfolds itself and we look forward to new beginnings, opportunities, and forethoughts, it is opportune to retrospect and introspect the different elements of our lives. While there are plethora of ways to either simplify or complicate our objectives, inspire or be in despair about being able to follow up on the new year resolutions. While the extent to which our efforts bear fruit results in the emotions, it also decides our level of enjoyment or exhaustion for putting in the efforts.
The life that is spread out too far and wide, why not narrow it down and answer the questions --
a) What do I want more of in my life?
b) What do I want less of in my life?
The answers to these questions will provide a direction to where to begin.
There are small changes in routine and perspective, so rather than committing to daily journaling, we could adopt a simpler approach, like reflecting on our day using the Rose-Thorn-Bud analytic method periodically, whether nightly, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. These small incremental steps hold immense power in contributing to the improved life, we aspire to have.
It is more important to get started than to get it perfect at the beginning. Consistency is the key to building a sustainable relationship, even with the self. By taking these manageable steps, we pave the way for a simpler, more fulfilling life.
