Simple Living Handbook

Checked out of the library 2 days ago. by Lorilee lippincott 

society has turned our lives into CRAZY on so many levels that we really need to dissect who we are , how we think, how we act and ask these simple questions.... 

1. is this what I WANT for my life?

2. is this benefitting me physically. emotionally. mentally. spiritually. personally? or is this just causing chaos?

3. WHY am i doing this? what is my 'secret motivation'? what does this say about ME?

wow... this is already awesome.... 

3. STUFF

you can't organize crazy or crap or chaos or stuff.... you can't make it fit into your life. it doesn't work. it doesn't stay compartmentalized. it bleeds over into all areas of my life. where is my life / thought patterns / emotions CRAZY? this leaves cc out for sure. I can't compartmentalize that. it's only chaotic to my emotions. 

STUFF demands moving, sorting, storing, maintaining, fixing, losing, hiding, disposing... that's a LOT of energy. it steals energy from your life in many ways. wow. 

we like to stay in hotel rooms bc they are only the necessities and they are clean and simple. that's what I like about them. and the decor is simple but tasteful. 

YOU are not your stuff and your stuff is not YOU. Your STUFF is not your memories. STUFF is not your value / worth. STUFF is not your friends.
