Hey there my friend, welcome back to Simple Happy Zen, It's Vera.
I've got 30 easy tips for you to help simplify your life.
These are all things that I like to do and they can be very effective. If you ask me,
Life is too short to make it complicated, so let's make it easier.
This video is part 2, where I share the second half of my 30 tips to simplify your life.
If you missed part 1, I'll link it here and in the description, so you can check it
out after this one.
Let's begin.
The first tip you can start doing today and will immediately have a huge impact, is to
simplify your mornings.
And there are lots of things we can do to create a more relaxed morning routine for
ourself.
You can lay out your outfit the night before, so you know exactly what you're going to wear,
you can already pack your bag the night before.
I also like to make my breakfast the night before, like overnight oats or chia pudding.
And you can even make your lunch as well.
This way, you can enjoy your relaxed mornings, take time to enjoy breakfast and make everything
so much simpler.
Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
And the best thing you can do to be energized during the day is to have a sleep schedule.
And this means, going to bed around the same time each night, and waking up around the same time each morning,
even on weekends.
Of course, there can be days where you have to change it up, that's okay.
But if we don't have some regularity, then it can be very hard on our
body and our mind.
So bringing some regularity to our sleep schedule will make it easier for us to be energized
and get things done during the day.
A lot of people who start their simplifying journey, start by simplifying and decluttering their home.
We've talked about this in part 1.
And I think that's a great way to start.
But if we also keep bringing new things into our home, it's not going
to make things any simpler.
So becoming a concious consumer, we start to really think through the purchases we make, and we are
mindful of bringing in things that add value.
I talk more about this in my minimalism and money saving
video, you can find it right here.
Oh my gosh, those few weeks in my twenties when I counted my calories were so complicated.
If you ask me, food is to be enjoyed and not to be calculated.
It can make us feel guilty about any calories we consume.
If we just try our best to eat healthy, and enjoy a snack here and there, if you ask me,
there's no real need to count calories and go on any rigorous diets.
If you let that go, life instantly gets simpler.
Simplifying life is for a large part about making things less complicated and limiting
distractions.
And for most people, their phone is their biggest distraction in life.
On average, we spend hours a day on our phone.
Imagine if we could cut that time down by even half, how much time we would get to spend
on other things.
I talk more about getting a healthy relationship with your phone in this video here, if you
want more info.
Complications tend to creep into our life in small ways.
And figuring out what to make for dinner can be one of such ways.
Sometimes, I just don't really know what to make, I don't have any inspiration.
And what really helps me then, is to have a few go-to options for each meal of the day.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner. These are things that I always enjoy, so whenever I
don't really know what to make, I just do one of my go-to meals.
Same with figuring out what to wear.
Sometimes, we just don't know and we spend time and energy figuring out what to wear
and changing our shirt 4 times before going out.
For those days, it really helps to have a few go-to outfits that you always feel confident
in.
And of course, minimalism and decluttering your closet are great ways to help you decide
on those go-to outfits.
Number 8, stop using your car for short distances.
If it's possible, of course.
If you only have to go a few blocks, it's so nice to grab your bike or simply walk there.
Getting out in the fresh air, getting your body moving, is such a great way to clear
your head and simplify your day.
And you also don't have to worry about parking.
We live in a time where everything can be done digitally and we sometimes forget that
we are people, who are programmed to enjoy being around other people.
So I find that scheduling time to hang out with people, instead of just messaging each
other for example, can really work wonders.
And if you are hanging out with people, leave your phone in your bag, don't take it out,
just enjoy that quality time and truly connect with someone.
Number 10, when my workspace is clean and tidy, I find it so much easier to be productive
and focus on my tasks.
And since we don't have a separate office in this apartment, my workspace is my living
room.
So taking 5-10 minutes before starting your work to tidy up and organize has a big impact
on the rest of the day.
Clutter is distracting and fills up my mind with noise, so having a clean workspace really
helps to simplify my workday.
I find cats to be such an inspiration for simple living.
Because when you look at them, they are often being very mindful and enjoying life.
When they just lie there, basking in the sunlight, I get reminded that this is what life is about.
Enjoying each moment, and appreciating the small things in life.
Life is not just about to-do's, and it can be easy for me to forget that.
So be like a cat, a few moments each day.
Stand near your window, feel the sunlight on your skin, and just enjoy.
Goal setting can be great, but it's easy to make too many and feel overwhelmed by all your goals.
My suggestion is to only have a few, preferably one for each area of your life.
This way you can growing and learning, without burning the candle at both ends and
feeling burnt out.
Something I've been working on recently is establishing routines, or workflows, for
the recurring tasks in my life.
And making videos for this channel is a great example.
Instead of working crazy hard on them without a plan, I have now implemented time blocks
into my days.
When I just work on scripting, or just work on editing, and creating these routines that
are logical and that work well.
I find this to be super helpful in getting things done in a relaxed, and efficient way.
Take a deep breathe in, and a deep breathe out.
Relax your shoulders down and voila.
Instant simplification.
Trust me, this really works.
Number 15,see if you can try to stop trying to impress people.
Let me explain what I mean, because I see this in a lot of people, and I also see this in myself sometimes.
We tend to think for others, and we want to optimize their opinion of us.
We want people to see us in the best light.
So we spend a lot of energy trying to hide our flaws, be it personal or physical flaws, because
we don't want people to see them.
When we let go if this, you won't believe the freedom this brings.
I am only recently starting to truly see the benefits that come with it, because this has
been a challenge for me.
But it has made my life so much easier and simpler, not having to think about impressing
people and how they see me.
I'm just me, and that's what it is.
It's incredibly freeing, and I would recommend this to everyone.
