"Life is like Solving Mathematical Equations where we need to simplify to get the correct answer." -@MisterWrite
Life has the tendency to be overly stressful and complicated because change happens so quickly that we do not even notice it. The cost of living, lifestyle, bills, school, work, and responsibilities make our lives more complicated. However, simplifying a complicated life has to be simple, too All you need to do is identify the very reasons why you are in such complex situations.
There are a lot of signs that keep you from living a simple life to the fullest. If you are feeling stuck between moving forward and staying where you are because o the complexities, why not get rid of the signs? You may not notice it but these signs are everywhere and oftentimes they are just right in front of you. The only rule is going back to the basics -identifying the problems and eliminating them one at a time.
Some people may think that a simpler life could be less interesting or boring. But the truth is majority wish to go back to the times when the clock ticks not as fast as it is right now and to the times when innovation is less destructive. The 21st century is not simple either with al! the technologies that people can use.
It is kind of ironic to think that innovation is meant to make our lives easier but somehow it rather brings a few difficulties from time to time Nowadays, people are required to work harder as they could to not let technology rule over them. There is a fear of being overpowered but the fear of the unknown is what we should be more frightened of-and this fear can be the tendency of life to be overly stressful and complicated as change continues to consume us.
But hey, it is never too late to take simple steps and keep a low-key and stress free life! You Just have to get rid of the signs and the burden that you carry on your shoulders all the time If you have not known these signs yet, better not be surprised! Here are 7 signs that you need to eliminate to simplify your life.
Too Much Responsibility
Try going back a few Years to your past and imagine how much extra responsibilities have come to you since then Are you having too many possessions, too much stuff going on, too many commitments, and too many projects? Due to these responsibilities, there is only a thin space for you to grow which increases your stress, reduces your focus, and lowers your overall performance.
Too much responsibility is a sign that your life is not getting any simpler Yes, it is exciting to get caught up in a lot of new projects, interests, stuff or hobbies but the consequence of which is that you may suffer a lot of limited time, risk your health, and makes this more complicated To simplify your life, try to cut down, projects, possessions, hobbies, and stuff to relieve the responsibilities that you really do not need.
Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs, these are the negative thoughts that you have resorted to believe as the truth Over the years of experiencing social conditioning, peer pressure, and media advertising, you have been molded by reality That is why you have figured out the things that you can do and cannot do Moreover, you have also believed that you are not smart enough, talented enough or good enough to perform things.
Having limiting beliefs could hold you back from gaining success, happiness, and even achieving your dreams. If you believe these things about you being inferior, your life will never be simple You will always think that you will never make it Eliminate this idea and take your time to release them.
Negative Relationships
There are relationships that can drain you emotionally and leave you feeling mentally tortured. If you are having negative relationships with the people around you, living each day will never be simple for you You will always feel disturb emotionally and psychologically.
When you have this sign, you will always have the feeling of jealousy, competition, and hatred. You will always think of who is right and who is better Negative relationships are toxic. There is no growth, happiness, gratitude or love imprisoning yourself in such toxic relationships cuts you from living a simple and stress- free life. Be brave to ditch yourself from what keeps you from moving forward.
Highly Stressful Job
People choose the direction of their lives when they are young. But as years go by, we will realize that the jobs we have chosen may create a lot of stress more than what we can deal with. Oftentimes, this situation may leave us feeling stuck and unhappy about our lives. Unless you are doing something that you real love, you may not consider alternative jobs or shifting your career.
But if you are not happy and passionate about what you are doing right now, think about it All of us need money to survive and sometimes we are trapped in the idea of a 'greener pasture'. Always remember that you have the power to work and plan towards something if it is really what you want.
Debt
Debt causes you to be enslaved by other people which then limits your choices and freedom. Fantastic opportunities may pass us on due to the need of managing our debt first-our first aim is to reduce and eliminate it. The first step you must do is not obtaining additional debt and second is to overspending on unnecessary things and start paying off your debi as soon as possible. The faster that you free yourself from debts, the more freedom you will have to follow your desired path. You can now start saving and investing.
Bitterness
A lot of people are now becoming bitter about life because of experiencing a painful love. Well, there with truly be no bitterness when there was no sweetness. Whether you have been through or experiencing a terrible heartbreak right now, keep in mind to stay still and choose to look at the brighter side of life. There are countless reasons to smile, laugh, and be happy Bitterness is only a part of the greater journey that you are about to begin As what Joel Osteen Ministries stated, "You may be a product of your past, but you do not have to be a prisoner of it. Move forward." Do not be a prisoner of your bitterness. Let that bitterness change you for the good, not for the worst.
Hatred
Proverbs 10:12 says, "Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers all wrongs."
Hatred is another form of bitterness with a certain degree of intensity. It is not simply being upset but it leads you to close your windows and doors as you build a high wall for yourself, stopping others from reaching out to you MOreover, hatred is never healthy at all. Too much hate and grudge in your heart makes it heavier while you become weaker Hatred also fuels revenge. When you hate someone or something, you may tend to do anything to get back at it, stirring up more conflict So, let love covers all the wrongs and live a hatred-free life, Take care of your heart and your health by getting rid of every ounce of hate that is in you.
It is so easy, right? All we have to do is get rid of these signs to simplify our lives. Less hassle, less conflict, and less burden would definitely mean that we are growing and mature enough to choose what is more important and focusing on our priorities. We do not need a stressful and complicated life. We have all the time to look at the reasons that keep us from living the life we want and from there, we can always change what may happen next. Simplify your life today!
