What is National
Simplicity Day mean to you? July 12th is a day dedicated in living
in an uncomplicated life which is what Henry David Thoreau believed. He was a
philosopher, poet, naturalist, and authored essays. It might seem difficult to
live a simple life, especially in these modern times. Yet, it is possible to
live a less complicated life.
According to Marisa
Peer, “People should not be lonely, alone, broken, and vulnerable.” Instead,
there is a reason for all of us to be here on this Earth. Maria Peer is a
therapist in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. She created a movement called; I
Am Enough-Mark Your Mirror to Change Your Life. Maria Peer has free exercises
for self-improvement.
Also, you can read
quotes from the writings of Henry David Thoreau to inspire you to enjoy nature
and the simple things in life. One of my favorite quotes from Thoreau is “Live
in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit,
and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” Plus, you can declutter
your closet, cabinets, and other areas that need organization in your home. Below
are links about National Simplicity Day. Here is my brief list of how to live a
simple life.
1. Clean your closet and
give away clothes you have not worn in ten years.
2. Clean and organize
your kitchen cabinets to make it easier to find your cooking utensils, spices,
and other cooking items.
3. Take a walk outside
in your backyard, park, or an area that makes you feel peace.
4. Make a meditation
room, meditation garden, or a small area in your home where you can relax for fifteen
minutes each day of the week.
5. Make a meal with less
ingredients and have your dining room table with a basic centerpiece.
6. Clean your jewelry
box, toolbox, and other boxed items that you have not worn for ten years.
7. Give away items that
you no longer use or repurpose them so you can use the items.
8. Eat slowly and drink
slowly without rushing.
9. Use your electronics
for less than two hours a day and write in a journal while being outside.
10. Do Maria Peer’s exercises to get rid of negative self-talk.
