Less is More!

We keep running. We keep stepping up the pace. We keep acquiring things. Buying stuff that we think we need. Or at least we think we want. In our over-burdened schedules, we just seem to have a normal healthy lifestyle anymore.

We keep forgetting that Less is more! By being streamlined and focus, we achieve more, we pay attention to more details and we can enjoy life better. But that’s just me and some people do thrive in multi-tasking and in acquiring lots of stuff.

less is more!

Just some tips in ensuring a healthier lifestyle and a more streamlined approach:

Clean up your desk, your closet and your entire room. Pick up every single paper, pen, book and just about anything that you don’t actually need. Give them to someone. Donate old shirts and pants to charities. Or just throw them away.

“Do you really need this and that?” Like in the next year? If not, then give it up. Somebody else might need it better. If you can’t give it up. Then at least shelve it. Or put them in boxes where they won’t interfere with your usual schedule.

Pause before acquiring new things, be they books, CDs, appliances, or anything at all and ask yourself if you need it. If you truly need it. This is something I do a lot before buying anything. In a lot of cases, I ended up not buying anything because I didn’t feel that I need it.

With the world that’s so crazy with materialism, it’s a wonder how we manage our lives with so much clutter (and trash, too). Same thing with our time. We pursue so many activities that add up to our busyness that we rarely have the time to socialize with our neighbors and friends.

Let’s just try to always keep in mind: Less is More!
