True wellness requires a certain amount of simplicity. How can we live a balanced and less stressful life if every inch of our home and every moment of our day are filled with thoughts and things? The nervous system is an integral part of our body, and when it is overburdened, our other body systems suffer.
Simplifying your life doesn't mean that you have to let go of everything and live in a van. What it does entail is taking a serious look at those things that are truly important to you. Does "keeping up with the Joneses'" really bring you a sense of fulfillment, or would your life be richer by making more time for your family and friends?
It helps me to remember that a majority of America?s population now lives at a standard of living that no one in the world experienced in 1950. Back then, TV was a rarity, color TV did not exist, freezers were unheard of, no cell phones, no computers, no air conditioning.
Most of us live like kings compared to the richest person back then. If you are willing to not keep up with the Joneses, you can live a very easy life with a minimum of effort - especially if you are willing to shop for second hand goods.
Every action that you make and every thought that you have involves a certain amount of energy or "chi. Are you spending so much energy on the daily grind that you have none left for those things that would nourish you? Begin to take stock of where your energy is focused throughout the day. Choose to channel your energy into those things that replenish you rather than drain you.
One of the most potent things you can do to simplify your life is to begin taking control of your health. By simplifying other aspects of your life, you will create the time to cook nutritious food, exercise, and practice relaxation. There are also some wonderfully simple tools that you can use to enhance your wellbeing, increase your energy and improve your health.
The simplest and yet most profound healing tool that I have found is the chi exercise machine. Over the years I have seen hundreds of people improve their health and reverse the "downward spiral" of illness through the simple "fishtail" movement of these units. This is because they work not only on a physical level, but actually increase your energy (chi).
