The complexity of our life nowadays has contributed to the emotional stress we put in our body resulting to ailments like hypertension, cancers, diabetes and other dreaded diseases.
We run from one activity to another, our mind jumps from one activity to another. Then our modern gadgets puts us on a 24/7 mode.The cellular phone and internet keeps us available 24/7. In the middle of our sleep, our phone rings and we are on running mode tackling a problem that waits for our decision. Then we can not anymore go back to sleep.
Simplifying our life may indeed be a challenge because of the convenience modern facilities gives us, however, getting too attached to these gadgets causes a strain on our physical health.
So how do we simplify ?
Going back to basics...try to savor the every day joys of life. Smell the flowers as you pass by a park or your garden if you have one... watch the sunset...play with your children....talk to your spouse...these are every day joys that we don't have to spend a single centavo but nurture our spirit...
Perhaps that's what we lack...nurturing our spirit...we often forget the basic of life...like relationships, we focus so much on material possessions that in the process we neglect our relationships.
We may provide for their physical material needs but our quality time and attention is lacking. We camouflage our lack with material possessions. In the end, we end up alone and bitter because our effort goes futile because our relationships are broken.
The essence of our spirit is lost and confused. Finding that "spirit" involves simplifying our life so we can see through our heart what really matters...God, family, our own self.
Let us not drive ourselves into exhaustion... to the point of sickness, which eventually drain our finances. So again it is a futile effort.
Find time to enjoy life....
