City, Urban, Rural Lifestyles
We live in a world with a wide variety of lifestyle choices available - not to all,
but to more of us than ever before. For those of us with this choice comes a responsibility
- not to spoil things too much, yet not to impede a better life choice for others.
It can be more problematic than we think and sometimes the damage is done before
we realise the full implications. We need to think and to keep within the law of the land we choose.
In highly developed cities and towns throughout the world there has been a move in the opposite direction for some time now and if we can strike the right balance we will all benefit.
Life skills are not always taught but can be applied wherever we live.
Life Skills
Simplifying your life pays huge dividends, but requires clear thinking.Mind map by brain storming your activities, responsibilities, collections, etc, to find the patterns in your life.
Group activites and note time spent on each and how you prioritise them. Look for changes you can make.
Analyse what you do and why; and whether you need to do it or could do it more simply.
Why keep lists of what you've spent - it is past! Better to keep "to do lists " and budget plans. Look to the future rather than the past. Recognise Changes and adapt to new circumstances. It brings a sense of achievement and freshness to life.
Do you need to save money, or is time saving, or saving effort more important?
Adjust your priorites quickly as things change, so that important matters are not left! If your mind is filled with many small concerns you may be too tired to even see the big ones!
Make time for leisure and to see the people or places you want to see.
Gradually you will be able to simplify life. This does not mean giving up luxuries but ensuring that you know why you have them and how to appreciate them.
