Message From the Universe: Simplicity of Life

"Fact of the matter is everything is a non-issue, until someone decides otherwise.

Which means you can now officially chill.

Blue,

The Universe"

You can decide the way you want to live your life, either in happiness or sadness. If you choose to be happy, then make sure to surround yourself with happy people and not feel obliged to be the person needing to save everyone else. However, if you choose to be sad, surround yourself with miserable people as misery certainly attracts misery. It is a pretty simple concept to follow and adhere to depending on how you choose to live your life. Most are familiar with drama queens or kings where they make mountains out of molehills at every occasion they get. They bring issues to every situation they get involved in. If you want to keep your sanity, stay AWAY from drama queens or kings.

You decide how everything should get filtered in your mind and what information to keep or get rid of. You will be the one who will decide the best way to live a life filled with love, gratefulness, appreciation and positivity. If you want to live a long life, stress free, start by embracing the good and bad changes that will enter your life and depends on what you make out of every situation you face, you can decide how to move forward. Some things you can't control and you should be OK with that. You decide what will raise an issue that should get resolved immediately and what can wait for you to figure out. No matter what happens, you should keep calm, chill, breath and figure out the best solution.

5 Ways To Simplify Your Life In 5 Minutes Or Less

We spend most of our time adding new stresses to our lives. Taking on more responsibility at work, visiting the in-laws, saying yes to every wedding invitation (even the destination ones). In isolation, these things aren’t bad. But when you add them to all your other obligations, an activity that should be more fun than stressful becomes the opposite.

Smack in the middle of the holiday season, there's probably even more stress than usual jammed into your days. Here are a few low-investment, high-reward ways you can lighten the load and simplify your life.

1. Just decide already.

We drive ourselves nuts analyzing the nuances of each possibility, agonizing over the least-stressful option versus financial and other concerns, when our best shot at saving ourselves stress might just be to make a choice and let the chips fall where they may.

Major decisions warrant some serious considerations (like whether it's okay to turn down your 12th invitation to join a wedding party this year). But if you're weighing the pros and cons of which casserole to make for the holiday, close your eyes and point. Now move on.

2. Outsource.

No one can do everything all the time. Delegating is key to holding on to your sanity in especially stressful periods. It can be a tough leap at first, but once you give yourself permission to try not doing everything yourself — just once — you'll realize how much more effective it makes your efforts everywhere else.

I use a service called Fancy Hands to do research, make appointments, and even make annoying calls to customer service for me, but there are a ton of services like this (think Task Rabbit), as well as task-specific companies that will deliver groceries or meals, pick up and drop off laundry and dry-cleaning, and complete any number of other time-consuming chores.

3. Make your workout clothes your pajamas.

If you exercise in the morning, sleep in the clothes you're wearing to the gym. Eliminating that extra step saves time and might mean the difference between deciding to snooze through the workout and making it there.

Laying out your work clothes at night has a similar de-stressing, time-saving effect. Making decisions when you feel less rushed not only means you can think more clearly about your choices, but that you can have a less panicked start to your day.

4. Automate your emails.

A lot of my emails are canned responses. For example, if people ask about my book, Listful Thinking, I have a prewritten response to copy, paste, and send off to them. This saves huge amounts of time I'd otherwise spend answering the same questions over and over. For more ways to trim your email clutter, check out my course on getting to inbox zero.

5. Keep calm and have a cup of tea.

Seriously. I love tea! I’m practically obsessed — and with good reason. Tea can help to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Having a cup of tea gives you a chance to stop what you're doing, take a step back, and reassess. It’s important to take your foot off the accelerator every once in a while.
