100 ways to Uncomplicate your life  Empty
PostSubject: 100 ways to Uncomplicate your life    100 ways to Uncomplicate your life  Icon_minitimeSat Aug 13, 2011 8:27 pm

I saw this today and thought it was worth shareing, why not check it out and see if you can find ways to make your life less complicated.

It begins...
You see, when we’re born we see the world in an uncomplicated way. We know what we need, and we ask for it. We like nice people, and we don’t like mean people. We sleep when we’re tired, we eat when we’re hungry, and we stop eating when we’re full.
As we grow older, we eat and drink to console ourselves, rather than addressing what’s bothering us. We overwork to avoid close relationships, rather than finding people we can trust to form strong bonds with. We hold grudges, play games, spend more than we make, want things we don’t need, and we get too far away from our basic human needs. In other words, we complicate things.


Here are 100 ways to uncomplicate it...
{perfect inspiration for a Sunday!}


1. Don’t try to read other people’s minds


2. Get up 30 minutes earlier so that you don’t rush/get a ticket while driving too fast/have to explain why you’re late/get fired


3. Get 8 hours of sleep per night so that you think more clearly


4. Stick to your budget


5. Start saving and investing every week, no matter how little you can spare


6. Balance your checkbook


7. Don’t try to be friends with everyone. Cultivate closer relationships with fewer people.


8. Don’t try to do business with everyone. Identify your target client and take very good care of them.


9. Before getting angry, ask yourself if it will really matter in 20 years


10. Focus on being a good person, not on pleasing others


11. Stay home this Saturday, and finish off that nagging chore that you need to finish


12. Kiss and make up


13. Make a weekly menu, and shop for only those items at the market


14. Ask your grandparents the best way to uncomplicate life, and try it for a month


15. Fill up your gas tank when it’s half full


16. Don’t drink alcohol when you’re tired, sad or mad


17. Pay your bills on time


18. Get an annual physical examination


19. Say “I love you” to your significant other and to your children. Studies show that more marriages last, and fewer kids use drugs, when these words are spoken every day.


20. For just one day, imagine everyone’s intentions are good because most people’s are


21. Give away clothes that haven’t been worn in two years


22. Throw out clothes that are in disrepair, and can’t be mended


23. When you have a conflict with someone, talk it out. Don’t let it turn into more than it is.


24. Know what your priorities are in life, and act as if they are your priorities


25. Tell the truth


26. Don’t cheat


27. Don’t steal


28. If you’re holding on to a ridiculous grudge, let it go


29. Clean your house weekly, so that it doesn’t become too large a chore


30. Do your best at work, or at school


31. Don’t eat when you aren’t hungry


32. Eat when you are hungry


33. Be yourself


34. Say no unapologetically


35. Cook simple meals


36. Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses


37. Pay off your car before buying a new one


38. Organise your desk at the office


39. Change your smoke alarm batteries when the clocks spring forward, and again when they fall back


40. Organise your important paperwork


41. Take only half the clothes that you planned to take with you on holiday


42. Help your children with their homework every night, and have an open dialogue with their teachers


43. Have white sheets and white towels in children’s rooms/bathrooms, because they’re easily bleached


44. Spend your time with nice people


45. Avoid drama


46. Don’t text or talk on the phone while driving


47. Turn off the television/video games/computer; they’re time consumers


48. Don’t engage in office politics


49. Refuse to gossip, or talk behind other people’s backs


50. Do the dishes right after dinner


51. Never go to sleep angry


52. Ask nicely for what you need and want


53. Walk 10,000 steps per day to help your heart


54. Do 20 push-ups before speaking in anger


55. Leave work at work


56. Don’t befriend anyone that isn’t trustworthy


57. Don’t envy others


58. Have your oil changed


59. Take vitamin C BEFORE you catch a cold


60. Don’t work more than 8 hours per day


61. Weed your garden weekly


62. Wash your car weekly


63. Have a spring cleaning month every year, and do one room at a time


64. You don’t need to be best friends with work colleagues, but build respectful partnerships


65. Don’t drink and drive


66. Don’t look for reasons to be angry or sad, look for reasons to be happy. You’ll always be able to find plenty of each.


67. Be friendly with your neighbours


68. Return emails and phone messages promptly


69. Schedule in free time


70. Don’t procrastinate


71. Do what you say you’ll do, when you say you’ll do it


72. Be more flexible when you’re able to be


73. Forgive and forget. End of story.


74. Break the consumerism habit…put a three month moratorium in place on buying anything not deemed a necessity


75. Start your diet on September 1, rather than January 1, so that you won’t also have holiday pounds to lose


76. Take care of any health issues or concerns


77. Have your tires rotated


78. Have your brakes checked


79. Have your eyes checked


80. Don’t let your imagination run away with you

99. Stretch every day


100. If a relationship is over, let it go

some great advice here peeps, i sure could take on a few of these suggestions, but then i think people mellow as they get older, or perhaps after a shock life kind of gathers some perspective so i find it easier to be more relaxed about things now. x
