Essentialism is about the active pursuit of less, but in a way that works out better. It is about trimming the fat so that we can focus on what is truly important. Essentialism not only leads to success, but a more engaged and joyful life.

It is so important to create an open, quiet, and inviting place for us to go within and just be. When we prioritize solitude by designating a space to do so, quieting the mind becomes automatic and life-changing.

Prior to WW II, there was no plural of the word "priority." The word "priorities" came to be as a result of our lives becoming busier, and busier, and busier over the last century. Surviving our fast-paced society has caused us to splinter our attention over many different tasks. In doing so, it has been easy to lose track of what is most important, as well as the importance of making time each day for something that brings us joy.

Working with authentic pizazz means to work from the heart.

Meditate with your hands

It can be so easy to become attached to material objects, which also leads to disappointment and upset when they become lost, damaged, or destroyed all together. In reality, we come into this world with only ourselves and we leave the same way. When we make a conscious effort to realize that our nice wine glasses are temporary, it can make it much easier to roll with it when one lands on the tile floor. Plus, we are more apt to enjoy our nice wine glasses while we are sipping wine with good friends.

Saying thank you goes a long way.

Forgive yourself when you lose it

We often zip around this world not being consciously aware that our life-minutes are limited. By doing so, we toss away lots of valuable time spending present moments with people with whom we no longer derive nourishment or joy from. This not a judgment of the other person, and it is quite possible they feel the same way about us. Spending our precious life-minutes doing something that no longer brings joy or personal growth because we are too lazy or it's inconvenient, is simply not a good purchase; it's a habit.

Often in our relationships, we attach days spent in the past or expectations of the future to our current present moment when we are together. This can be a romantic relationship, a sibling, or a best friend. When we can commit to being fully present with this person for the time spent together in one day, magic happens.
