Over the last decade or so life has
consistently been enriched because of more and more facilities, on-going
gadgets inventions and day by day increment in luxuries. This is quite exciting
however during the same period of time, people have increased their love for
materialistic things abruptly which has directly or indirectly reduced their
overall happiness index. Now a days, we have more luxuries but less delights
and high stress levels. We have more sugar, blood and heart patients then it
used to be a decade back. The reason for all the stress and anxiety is simple
that we are not living a simple life.
Below are some tips which can simplify
your life and may amplify the happiness scale of your life.
1. Avoid getting influenced: You don't have
to follow every single trend in society. If your friend has purchased a new
BMW, you don't need to buy a Mercedes to impress. Live for yourself not for
others. If you purchase a high-end luxury car today, your love for this will
end soon and you will be selling it at considerable financial loss though I am
not forbidding to purchase luxury things once in a considerable duration of
time.
2. Avoid impulse buying: You don't
need to buy every single gadget instantly which you like in this shop. Do your
Needs Vs Wants analysis. Buy only if it is really increasing your peace of
mind. Remember that now a days the standard life of every gadget (phone,
tablet, laptop, jewelry etc) is more or less 6 months because of new and new
products release by several companies.
3. The 6 months Rule: Generally
speaking, anything which has not been used in last 6 months will not be used in
next 6 months most likely. Give such things (shoes, garments, toys, mobiles,
house hold items) in charity. This will help spreading happiness in society and
reducing your space at home.
4. Avoid Credit Cards Usage: Avoid this as
much as you can. Debt is a silent stress and eating up your mental health
slowly. Your brain might get old while you are young at heart. You might
develop high BP or sugar because of stress due to credit. Live a credit-free
life.
5. Learn to say No: Don't accept every single
attractive offer from the bank representative or a car loan company. Do your
"Needs Vs Wants" analysis. Careful spending is always recommended.
6. Reduce too much social gatherings: Stay at home.
Spend quality time with your spouse and kids for empowered relationships. You
don't have to say yes every time to your friend who is coming to pick you from
home to join another late night social get together.
7. Reduce your love for money: Careful
spending and saving is important but don't allow your brain to keep doing the
calculations all day long. You love for money is pulling your brain strings and
damaging your peace of mind silently. Stay away from too much thoughts about
your financials.
8. Less TV more Books: It is proven
that people who watch more movies generate high level of stress. Read quality
books to learn wisdom and attain high degree of happiness.
9. Spend time with Nature: Instead of
going to cinemas and malls repeatedly, spend time in parks. This will relax
your brain, body and soul.
10. Change your eating habits: why eating
lavish foods by visiting costly restaurants again and again in a week. The
purpose of food is to fill your belly for some hours. So the suggestion here is
to go for simpler and healthier food. Remember, most of the food items in the
market are fried which are increasing your cholesterol level silently hence
making you a heart patient in the long run!
Work on your real wealth and live a
happy life
