What My Simple Garden Of Eden Lifestyle Is About
So what does it mean to live simply and why does it matter? It’s not a minimalist trend that you may be thinking of, but rather, it has more to do with how we were created and calls for a complete mindset shift to get back to the original state of existence we had in the Garden of Eden. For this purpose, I am going to define simple living as living free from the things the world loves and living as simply a with a focus on living a life of purpose and intention in everything you do. This means rather than pursuing wealth or ease or glory or power –rather than building our empire you may be thinking, but rather, it has more to do with how we were created and calls for a complete mindset shift to get back to the original state of existence we had in the Garden of Eden. It is also a life of joyful unconcern for possessions and the one thing that sufficiently reorients our lives so that possessions can be genuinely enjoyed without destroying you.

There are three main attitudes related to having possessions that lead to peace. The anxiety of having to protect, hide and keep MY things safe from those who want to steal from you. Once you begin to cultivate these inner attitudes, what might the outer expression of this renewing of your mind, you will begin to see the following attitudes manifesting in how you perceive material things you’ll: Benefits of My Simple Lifestyle The following are just some of the benefits of simplifying your life: You might choose to have fewer friends, but the friends you have will be much closer. It’s easier to focus on the other person when your life is more straightforward. The interaction is also sincerer since you’re free of the need to impress them. Choose people in your life whom you can trust. The more things you own, the more responsibilities you have, the more you need to service your ego, and the less freedom you enjoy. You will find that simple things such as walking, looking at the clouds, and smelling flowers can make you so happy. A simple life gives you freedom from issues in life that should not be of major concern. It can be hard to learn to relax when you’re used to running around trying to get everything done. But free time is a gift that only a few truly appreciate.
