How to simplify your life
I believe many of us know the occasional feeling that everything is just too much and too complicated - we wish it would be simpler.
Simplifying our life will give us more time, space, and energy. The more space we have, the freer we'll be to truly enjoy everything.

Mental stress can cause us not to be able to see the good things in life and lead to excessive rumination or worries which can result in serious health problems. If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.

How do you wish you could simplify your life? Well I am not sure because I learn a lot by having to cope with all the complications in life that it send me.
What is one thing you like and could change now to make your life easier? I could stop worrying about the future and trying to resolve my regrets for past actions.
@soulsings I hope you resolve those things. And your mind stays peaceful and happy this xmas ❤ gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤
Simplifying life consists of those things that cause you stress. Often for me it is my internal dialogue and anxiously attachment brings. I stay in the present keep busy and enjoy what I do have with my partners …. Often our vision is vastly different than someone else’s…. Simply exist in the middle … compromise. It sounds simple yes but takes time and effort. Relationships require that time and focus.
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful living in the moment, and balancing life out, as you know is incredibly hard. You have to keep reminding yourself. But I hope you manage to work that out. Your a great person, who deserves peace and hapiness ❤
Gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤ merry Christmas
Thank you Merry Christmas to you as well… you as well a fabulous person who leaves much sparkle and JOY around these forums … ♥️💚♥️💚
@amiablePeace77 the only things I feel when everything seems to much. Is about my past and disabilities, and living situation now. It can really get to me sometimes. I'm not sure there's a easy change for this. Simplifying my life well it's already pretty simple, I just need to learn so much more and I am trying ❤❤❤
merry Christmas ❤

How to simplify life?... I have thought about this once and the outcome is pretty extreme. Sometimes I wonder what makes us humans and not monkeys. I mean animals aren't really pure desire they don't just eat their prey or do whatever they want to do, sometimes they could show compassion, sometimes they're more humane than some human. I think what makes human being complex is moral and façade. Different person might follow different sets of moral value, not everyone could appreciate everything. And thus they make façade and tiring themselves by acting to be something that they actually are not and sometimes lost their original self. How to simplify this life for me I wish all the actors could stop acting and accept them for who they are and other could also accept them. And yea life could be cruel especially when you are being cruel to yourself.
@affectionateMoon0902
I hear you affectionateMoon0902. It would be nice if everyone would feel safe enough to show their true self and stop portraying to be someone else which must be very difficult.
@affectionateMoon0902
Please friend.
Never be cruel to yourself. You're a wonderful human being, created in the image of God/Jesus Christ. There is only one of you on this planet we call the earth.
From your friend Helga.
@amiablePeace77
I could simplify my life by ignoring a lot of ish... from my husband and learning to keep silent and walk away.
@WorkingitThrough2
Nice to see you again in the forum WorkingitThrough2. Walking away instead of starting an argument sounds healthy and gives both parties the opportunity to rethink the situation.
@amiablePeace77
Ami, thanks. That made me happy❤️
