The Seduction of Simplicity is Stunning

7 Simple Ways to Simplifying

1. LOVE

My first rule of thumb is, only keep what you absolutely love. We live in such a material world where we think gathering a ton of crap will fill our head and hearts. This is quite the opposite. Acquiring material objects actually creates a great deal of stress for most people. Do an audit on your entire home and keep only what you absolutely LOVE. 

2. DELEGATE:

Yes, I said it. Hire help whenever you can. Hire a nanny, hire a housekeeper,  hire a gardner, hire a Virtual Assistant. You will not regret spending money on help to support you in your home or business. It can be life altering for most. 

3. YES:

Say “yes” only to the people, places and things that you absolutely want to say “yes” to. Say “No” to everything else. I hear so many woman saying that they are overwhelmed, over committed and they say “yes” out of guilt, not out of true enjoyment to do something.

6. READ: 

Please, please, please read more of what sparks your fancy. Reading can take us to another dimension. Reading ignites fantasy, passion, ideas, and may just lead you on a path to greatness.

I’m a lover of business books. Knowledge is such a powerful tool to greatness. 

7. EXPERIENCES: 

Spend your hard earned money on more experiences, not more stuff. You rarely go to a social gathering and talk about the new shoes or bag you just bought. Note to you, nobody cares about your new bag or shoes. Unless somebody compliments you on your bag or shoes, please talk to people about something special or significant that is happening in your world. On the other hand, if you just returned home from a safari in Africa, I bet my bootie, you will be chatting to anyone who will listen.
