Who’d think most of we humans reading this blog post have too many options?

Which shampoo scent? The color of our smartphone covers? Who to text message next? What to eat at our next feeding? dot dot dot

Our poor brains haven’t adjusted enough to the rigors of our modern lives!! And we ask them to run at 5GHz (aka multi-tasking)?!

We all need some rest. Back off the throttle sometimes and just rest. We’re not perfect, don’t have to be and never will be. We will die with items on our todo list.

Isn’t it better to choose to simplify one’s life than be forced to by outside forces in our lives (eg, job changes, family situations, health issues)?

We can, should and need to take a deep breath or 3 this very moment.

Ok.

Many years ago i was drawn to Voluntary Simplicity, which is basically a philosophy of living where one chooses the benefits of simplicity over the (strings-attached) attractions of complexity. There are so many examples in life where VS philosophy helps out. An early influence in my VS thinking was Duane Elgin. Before that it was the Tao.

If you’re at all drawn to VS… here’s a Google search to save you a few taps. And please feel free to contact me anytime.
