Stop buying unnecessary things.
Toss half your stuff, learn contentedness.
Reduce half again.
List 4 essential things in your life,
stop doing non-essential things.
Do these essentials first each day, clear distractions
focus on each moment.
Let go of attachment to doing, having more.
Fall in love with less.

Thank you for keeping it simple. You have inspired me to once again take a trip to the donation depot in town. Going to fill boxes now and enjoy the freedom of simple living.

Hey there, this post is so relevant, especially now – the economy has everyone so bogged down that we forget what’s really important. Thanks for the perspective!
I’m actually in charge of gathering content for a Miami based Yoga company called Green Monkey – if you’d be interested in contributing anything please let me know and we can set that up! In the meantime keep up the great posts, they are really appreciated!
This post speaks to me so much right now. I like the “toss half your stuff,” then half again. I think it would apply not to just all my material stuff but also the stories, histories and emotional stuff that clogs up so much time and energy.
Thank you for the words of wisdom, I actually just gave away half my clothes and various other objects laying around and I already feel so much clearer! Now off to get rid of another half!
Thank you for the inspiration! Decluttering is such an emotional process for me. It helps to get encouragement that I will feel better when it’s been done.
Nice
