Why less is more; the key to your happiness

happiness with a smile

It may not be the first time you have heard the expression that 'less is more', and you may think that it is simply one of many phrases that sometimes they are too empty. But nothing is further from the truth, this phrase makes a lot of sense and when you understand why less is really more, you will be able to realize how your life can change for the better, and may you feel your happiness in all the pores of your skin. It is a simple phrase, but with a deep meaning.

Less is more

'Less is more' can be applied to all aspects of your life, although in reality few people apply it in their day to day life. This expression should be a mantra for everyone in the world.

Disorder in life leads to anxiety and stress, so having a 'simpler' life is the ideal way to enjoy life, tranquility, what really matters and happiness. A person has to pick and choose priorities in life to get the best results. Do not waste your time with things or people that do not contribute anything. Prioritization is crucial and the time you have is the most valuable, it is what will set the pace for the rest of your life.

happiness in the details

When you start to simplify your life, things become a lot easier, almost without you noticing. Life becomes more fun and you enjoy much more than before. You will be in control of your mental state, so simple things will avoid your stress (which is the main goal). It does not mean that you should stay in your comfort zone forever, if not that you are able to live without stress and with tranquility even if you have to leave your comfort zone from time to time.

Priorities will change

When you realize that you don't need the most expensive or the best to be happy, and that everyday moments are the ones that really fill your heart, then your priorities will change. Priorities are everything and until you recognize which ones are the most important in your life, you will be wasting your time.

Do you know when you will really start enjoying your happiness? When you start to surround yourself only with the people you really love. You do not need to surround yourself with many people who really do not contribute anything to you, they do not make you grow or evolve, those people do not make you happy. If the people you surround yourself with make you feel bad, then it's time to prioritize the people who do make you feel good.

When you eliminate negative people from your life, everything will be much easier and you will be happier. Yes, you will have fewer people in your life, but you will be much happier. Why waste your time with people who don't give you anything? Even if you feel certain obligations towards people who meant a lot to you in the past, but in reality they do not contribute anything to you, do not feel guilty ... These people are no longer part of your life.

You attract the energy you bring

All people are energy and you are what you project. If you feel sad, you will project sadness and you will receive sad life. If you project joy, you will perceive life with greater optimism even when circumstances are adverse. Your happiness is within a change of perspectives in your present, you have the freedom to choose how you want to live your life and in what mood.

Life is too short to worry about things that don't really fill you up. Just as people come and go, money and material things are perishable, but happiness is not.  In life, there is a time and place for everything. 

It is very difficult to make real progress when you are stumbling over old obstacles. Look around you closer. If there is something that does not add value or meaning to your life, get rid of it. Don't feel obligated to hold onto something that just makes you miserable. You owe it to yourself to lead the best life possible, your happiness depends on it.

By simplifying your life, you can clear the clutter from your head and be much happier. Focus on the present moment without dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, because then you will only ravage yourself. Appreciate what you have even if it is not everything you dreamed of.

How to enjoy a simplified life

For your life to be much fuller, taking into account the maxim that 'less is more' you will only have to simplify your life, change priorities and not keep in your life all those things or people that are not really contributing anything to you. But how can you apply this to your daily life? Today's society is about constantly absorbing information, whether consciously or unconsciously, and try to remember everything. However, this burden placed on us often leads to stress, confusion, and exhaustion.

Organize your life

To be happy you need less chaos in your life and in your mind. If you tend to be an organized person, then you may be wasting your time as well. It is necessary that you begin to organize your work, your house and your life, so your mind will also be organized and you will take advantage of you much more. You should organize your time too!

Enjoy the little pleasures

To enjoy a good vacation it is not necessary to have to go to the other side of the world. Enjoy what you have today, the people around you and the unforeseen plans. Enjoy the nature that you have close to you and the small details that the people who want to do you in your life.

Be grateful

Why do you want to have the latest mobile if your current smartphone works perfectly? Do not get carried away by the consumerism and materialism of this society and it will be infinitely happier. Take the test, you'll see.

    I am in a very difficult situation, they stole my belongings from the department where I lived, I denounced the Prosecutor's Office and they did not investigate and file, by order of the former president Rafael Correa (scoundrel and hopefully they will put him in prison), in the Prosecutor's Office, in the Judicial Council, in the Public Defender, etc. etc. They told me that by order of the Precidente (Correa), the criminal is defended and not the innocent. They left me on the street I am living in an Albegue in Quito, and they already ask me to leave and I do not know where to go, I do not know who can help me, I PLEASE help me with an idea or comment, I will be greatly GRATEFUL, and that God help you always.

    Excellent article, having health and family unity and something to eat and work, by opening your eyes and being able to get out of bed alone and sanitize yourself without depending on another person, it is already a success
