As the great fighter Bruce Lee said: "Simplicity is the highest level of art." In most cases, we make life difficult for ourselves, creating additional difficulties and problems. Lessons from a simple but happy life.
“There is nothing difficult in life. We are complex. Life is a simple thing, and what is simpler in it, the more correct”Oscar Wilde
Here are a few key lessons to help simplify the things that we sometimes confuse too much. The ability to live easier can be learned from wise people who have long learned the Zen of simplicity and happiness.
How to make life easier and happier
1. Choose your opponent by yourself
We ourselves create our own wars and unrest. Choosing an unrealistic goal as a dream, we drive ourselves into the trap of dissatisfaction with life. All the stress, frustration, busyness and hustle and bustle are in our head. Sometimes you need to let go of unnecessary and unattainable goals. Dream about the real, do not hang on to dreams that will never come true. Relax and live easier.
2. Get rid of the bullshit
Some things make life harder, not better. Make a lot of effort to make your social media life look happy and successful? Don't try to impress others or live up to their expectations. You do not need it. Constantly surf the Internet, watch TV shows, play games and complain about the lack of free time? Get rid of the nonsense that only prevents you from living.
3. Do one thing
Multitasking brings chaos, and things get done even slower. If you want to do well and quickly, then do it with maximum attention on a specific goal. Single-tasking allows you to get more done by focusing on just one thing. Get rid of information noise and complete one task after another.
4. Give up unnecessary
Often we have to do someone else's work or deal with other people's problems. Although in 90% of cases it was possible to simply refuse, without even arguing for their unwillingness to solve other people's difficulties. Do not do things that are not interesting to you, avoid unnecessary meetings and activities. Throw out all unnecessary things from life and do the necessary things that bring happiness.
5. Find joy in the little things
As a child, we were pleased with ice cream, a balloon and a trip to the circus. We were very happy then, getting very little. And now there has been a devaluation of happiness. Even buying a car or an apartment, we are not as happy as in childhood. We are looking for negative sides in everything. There is nowhere to park the new car, the view from the purchased apartment is not very good, the chair is uncomfortable on the good job received. We are even looking for the negative side of the excellent. We are not happy with a sunny day, the smile of a stranger, a compliment, delicious food and other little things. Enjoy simple things and be happier.
The simpler life is, the easier and happier …
