Simple Living

/simple living

A plant thrives needing only a few requirements - good soil, water, and sunshine. In a day where we have more supplements and programs then we will ever need, now is the time to be beautifully reminded that to feel good in life does not require a purchasing of anything, maybe just a bit of knowledge and inspiration!

Your Tool Box for Feeling Good in Life:
1. Living simple, gently, calmly in the mind. Cultivating a mindset that nourishes you!
2. Feeding the body with homemade wholesome foods and letting unwholesome things go. This includes food, what you think, say, hear and do every day!
3. Getting some daily movement.
4. Getting some daily sunshine and some fire light into the eyes in the winters.
5. And having regular times of internal focus through breathing and prayer.
These will always be the best medicines.
Chronic pain sufferers and those living with anxiety and depression:
Health is not far away. It is right now. Don’t forget that even through sickness and pain, there can be a thriving of spirit and soul that can be unmatched through the will to live and fight for more of what is important in your life. Having self-care habits will help to lift yourself up every day causing you to live in the moment; embracing your own inner beauty and feeling good mentally, right where you are in life. Apply some oil to your skin, take pause regularly, create a sanctuary of a morning giving you the space to thrive. Even five minutes of putting your attention towards caring for yourself can help you to be stronger for those you love and can strengthen your own perseverance.
For many years I succumbed to poor thinking that came from a life that was always fixated on what was wrong. When we change our thinking and fixate it on what can be right, the music of life starts to play differently. As you contemplate how to enrich your life with more health, remember to bring your mind to not what is wrong or what can you buy right now but what can you BE right this very moment that will help you in the next.
