According to Confucius(a Chinese Philosopher), “Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated.” When you simplify, you’re left with a life filled with meaning, a life that is lived on your own terms. You have the time and space to pursue your interests and to create the life you truly desire. It is often in the most simple things that we find true happiness. Keep your life simple, build a budget and stick to it faithfully. Living a simple lifestyle allows you see the reality of the situation more easily. By focusing on what’s most important, your stress levels will be lower and your health will benefit. Stress can affect your mood, blood pressure, and mental health, just to name a few. People who live simple life focus on their health and watch carefully what they put inside their bodies. They care about the future enough that they do not to abuse it in the present. It’s easier to focus on the other person when your life is simpler. The interaction is also sincerer, since you’re free of the need to impress them. Choose people in your life whom you can really trust. The more things you own, the more responsibilities you have, the more you need to service your ego, and the less freedom you enjoy.
