Advanced Simple Living Tips for Seasoned Minimalists

 

Simple living is a lifestyle that refuses to accept busy and harried as normal. Instead, intentionality is about removing unnecessary conflicts, excessive to-do items, and pointless distractions as a means of experiencing all life has to offer.

But if you Google “how to live slow” (or some facsimile thereof), you will likely see the same strategies touted over and over: Turn your phone off. Walk in nature. Read. And while these strategies offer solid starting points for beginners, many find themselves seeking guidance that delves deeper.

On this week’s show I offer 5 advanced simple living strategies for novices and intermediates alike.

Here’s a preview of the episode:

[5:20] Why stepping away from interpersonal conflicts is a sign of strength

[9:15] How, exactly, to work smarter (not harder!)

[16:45] What other cultures get right (and what America gets wrong)

[21:00] What “standing and staring” means for busy adults

 

Happy listening!

Cultural Uniformity

Something semi-sad happens as we age: We lose our nimbleness. So many of us white-knuckle grip long-held habits and beliefs and thus fail to question whether such routines and ideas are working in our best interests. Worse, such rigidity goes directly against our "factory settings" as human beings: As a species, we fully live when we prioritize resilience, light-footedness, and fearlessness. (Don't believe me? Just observe a child!)

On today's show: embracing fresh starts, prioritizing roads less travelled, and unpacking pressures associated with cultural uniformity with author and podcaster Shannon Leyko


Here's a preview:

[14:00] How to lean into tension by taking "messy action"

[23:00] Timelines are rarely linear, and "starting over" isn't starting back at square one
