What is simplicity?

The way of living a life of simplicity is not a decision against other kinds of lifestyles. It is more a metamorphose between them and a possibility to find our own balance which fits best to our life.

This includes:

  • Focusing on what is important to us and brings value to our life.
  • Less is more and quality supersedes quantity.
  • A thinking that tries to reduce complexity to reach a state of high effectiveness and mastery.
  • It is an overall lifestyle of well-being (physically, mentally and emotionally).

Simplicity leads to balance

If people talk about simplicity or a simple life, they often compare it with a careless life or a minimalist life.

Simplicity has a lot in common with other lifestyles like minimalism. Moreover, it has a lot of intersection topics.

By reducing extreme situations, it gets easier to stay in balance and recover from the moments when we have to tackle an extreme challenge.

Therefore, it is helpful to reduce tasks, conventions and expectations to the ones, that really mean something to us and bring value and joy to our life.

Simplicity leads to balance by avoiding extreme situations and situations that are too simple or too complex.

We can choose this kind of life to feel better without limiting us by extreme conventions. Balance is flexible. We only have to pay attention to what let us rebalance over time.
