Here I present a few of my thoughts about leading a life
with exactly what is necessary. May it be your work, food, hobby, shopping, social
media, home decors;
Especially in this era we were driven to get more of
everything in life. Let’s ponder more as this can be the best time to do so.
Online/direct shopping:
“Wohoo! it’s the salary day and let me buy something that
makes me happy!”. But do we not shop all other days? (Yes , we do but this is
for extra happiness :P). But many such things go useless in less than a month. Example:
a badly fitted dress that felt so good when we bought it. Let’s ask ourselves a
question is this a necessity or a luxury when we wish to buy something. You
will definitely get a clear answer from within. And just follow what your heart
says. Make a new discipline to keep some money aside for charity every month, this
can give more purpose to the money earned that month.
Food:
Food has now become one of the stress-burster rather than a
must have for survival. We eat when we are bored, we eat when we feel stressed,
we eat when we are happy, we go to restaurant when we feel to get together with
friends or family. But end of the day we google how to lose weight :P. Eat mindfully
with without tv, mobile & chit chatting. We can bring down the quantity day
by day. If we can reduce going to big super markets, we shall start buying only
what is necessary. Buy one snack less than before, with one small step at time
we can do our part in not wasting food.
Information overloaded:
Internet has made so powerful of knowledge about every
little thing on this universe. But do we really draw a line of limiting how
much is required? In a day how many of such instances happen where we wanted to
know something and we end up loading ourselves with so much that we truly don’t
need. Can we try clicking on laptops or phone more consciously than before? May
be this small thing can make a big difference.
