Since I've been out of the rat race I've learnt to keep life simple. How do I do this?Three things keep me grounded and appeased:
enjoy what's in front of me,
create time for what I care about, and
increase my stress tolerance.
Sounds pretty straightforward, but challenging to actually do.
In between life takes, I have a rest. (A gentle warning: you've got to forgive me for inserting here and there my obvious passion for classical music and Mozart. Thanks.) Heard of the 'Mozart Effect'? Invigorating the energy of sound. Mainly as a form of rest, I make listening to favourite music a therapy. And then there's creativity, Ah, creativity!
Looking around my place
I notice some items just taking up space.
Got to think of new uses for them.
Unlike driving, in life we can make the rules ... to avoid following other people's complicated plans unless we thoroughly understand and agree, or prefer their logic and strategy, and... to devise our own plans whenever possible, right?
