THE BEAUTY OF SIMPLICITY

-

                    “A simple life is its own reward.”- By: George Santayana"

Simple living is what makes us happy and makes us stress free. Unwanted wastage of money is often a picture of an unsatisfied life. When you are simplified in your life, it makes your life filled with meaning, a life that is lived on your own terms. Living a simple life gives you time and space to pursue your interests and to create the life you truly desire.


In an individual life, happiness belongs on what are the thoughts you have been thinking. Between the bulging email inbox, the pressure to be “always on” at or for work, and generally stressful effect  of long hours and time pressure, especially on activities such as, driving for work, it is perhaps no wonder that work and being at work can all sometimes become too much.

Switching off on holiday that, of course, is what holidays are supposed to be for. But, properly getting away from work while on holiday can nowadays be a challenge as work are usually done on smart phones or by using remote messaging. To that end employers should focus on their well being on a holiday rather indulging them at work.


                                                                                                                                                                                                         Simplicity also provides many benefits: 

Your finances improve- Keeping your life simple, building a budget and sticking to it faithfully will help you to improve your finances. Sell the stuff you don’t need any more and only purchase item you love or need.

You naturally avoid overacting- Living a simple lifestyle allows you to see the reality of the situation more easily. Your mind is less stressed because it has less to worry about.

You strengthen your health- By focusing on what’s most important, your stress levels will be lower and your health will benefit. Stress can affect your mood, blood pressure, and mental health.

Simplicity and freedom go hand in hand- “the more things you own, the more responsibilities you have, and the less freedom you enjoy”.

You learn more about yourself- when you’re not distracting yourself with your electrical gadgets, and stressed about your life problems than you have the time and mental space to learn more about yourself.

Your life is less cluttered- fewer possessions and commitments results in less clutter. This means you’ll spend less time cleaning and organizing.

You can be true to yourself and your values- modern society is focused on many things that don’t lead to happiness and fulfilment

However, it is also important to be looking at whether time and work pressures and demands are an underlying issue within your organization that needs to be addressed generally. Hence, it is also necessary to stop chasing the next best thing. This will make your life stable and uncomplicated.

The ABCs of cancer

Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply  to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. These cells may form tumors, which are lumps of tissue. Tumors can be cancerous. Cancerous tumors spread into nearby tissues and can travel to distant places in the body to form new tumors . Cancerous tumors may also be called malignant  tumors. Many cancers form solid tumors, but cancers of the blood  generally do not. Benign tumors do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. When removed, benign tumors usually don’t grow back, whereas cancerous tumors sometimes do. Benign tumors can sometimes b...

                         "Walls are not made to divide us; they are made to protect us."   The construction of walls and fortifications in northern China began as early as the 7th century BCE during the Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BCE). These early walls were built by different states and kingdoms to protect their territories from invasions. The construction of the Great Wall as we know it today was initiated by Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259-210 BCE) of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). Qin Shi Huang aimed to connect and strengthen existing walls and fortifications into a unified defensive system to protect the newly unified Chinese empire. The majority of the extant Great Wall was constructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 CE). The Ming rulers faced threats from the northern nomadic tribes and initiated massive construction projects to fortify and expand the existing walls. The Ming Dynasty contribute...
