SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE » 5 Habits for simple living, minimalism and happiness : Simple Happy Zen



SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE » 5 Habits for simple living, minimalism and happiness

Less distractions, burdens, stress, obligations.
More time, space, energy, love, life.

1. Start making your own rules.

by shedding everything that's holding us back, definitely more simplicity.

2. Focus on giving instead of receiving.

time, energy, a compliment, or a random act of kindness.

Being generous with others is a great mindset to simplify your life. Because it changes your mindset from seeking from others (something you don't have under control yourself) to sharing your abundance with others (something you absolutely can control).

3. Say no more often.

They're asking something of you, which means you have a choice in your answer.

Don't worry so much about letting others down, and start worrying a bit more about letting yourself down.

Saying no is such a powerful tool to bring more simplicity into you life.

4. JOMO instead of FOMO.

JOMO means Joy Of Missing Out.

It means being able to choose what you truly value, and gladly miss out on what you don't.

5. Living in the present.

This part of simplifying has to do with less going on in your head all the time.

Take a breath and remember that this is now.

Choosing to focus on living in the now can really help to uncomplicate things.

How to Change Your Life & Make It Stick : Amy Landino



How to Change Your Life & Make It Stick

If it is a muscle, I want you to work it as early as possible.

Do you, unapologetically.

2. Build small daily habits.

3. Cut toxic people out.

4. Respect value over money.

5. Don't keep sweets in the house.

6. Don't sleep with your phone.

7. Connect often.

8. Save and invest automatically.

9. Remind yourself that nobody cares.

10. Never stop going after the life you want.

If you're really sure it's something you love, if you're really sure it's gonna be hard but you want it, never stop going after the life you want.
It's going to be hard work either way.

If you want to change your life, wake up a little bit earlier, do something that matters to you, start your day on your terms.

MINIMALIST HABITS that you can start doing today : Simple Happy Zen



MINIMALIST HABITS that you can start doing today

1. Only buy things if they're exactly what you were looking for.

2. Stop looking for things to want. Let them find you.

3. Declutter seasonally.

This works for me,
a. last week of march
b. last week of october

4. Instead of buying something new, see if you already own something you can use.

5. Practice gratitude and appreciation for your things.

6. Identify and cut out things that aren't helpful or that are tempting.

Switch off notifications.

Start saying no more often.

7. Spend time on things that matter to you.

With saying no, and cutting out things that don't serve you, you will have a lot more time, space, and energy left to focus on the things that truly matter to you.

That give you joy, energy, meaning, and love.

And that is the true purpose of living a minimalist lifestyle.

Plan to Succeed in 2017 | How to Reach Your Goals

1. Start fresh! Find ways to get inspired.

Write goal(s).

Ask yourself why.
What will achieving this goal do for me?
What will be different in my life?

2. Stay on track with small & weekly goals.

Another way that I like to hold myself accountable is writing weekly goals in my planner.
All of these goals pertain to my top 3 goals.

3. Choose a word to be your focus for the new year.

An overall theme for the year.

I wrote my word at the very top of my planner.
I also have a few quotes and a Bible verse that inspire me.

You can also use that when planning your goals.

4. Love yourself, be patient, and take it one step at a time.

Be gentle when writing your goals.

Having small steps towards a goal is much more sustainable than trying to overdo it right away and making huge drastic changes.
