A lot of you will know that I am interested in simplifying my life by doing things like decluttering the house, only buying things I really need and trying to maintain a sustainable lifestyle. This is something that is variously called downshifting, decluttering, simplicity etc..
With this in mind, I was really pleased to discover a blog post by Brian Tracy entitled 3 Questions for Lifelong Happiness. This was both an interesting and inspiring post which looked into the nature of happiness and encourages you to ask yourself 3 questions;
- What would it take for me to be perfectly happy?
- In what situations am I not happy?
- What or when in my life have I been happiest?
By answering these questions, and there may well be more than one answer to each question, a person can find the things that make them happy and then strive to create more of these. That person can also, having identified things or times that make them unhappy, try to avoid unhappy things. Finally, of course, by identifying what has made them most happy, the person can create a priority of such things and strive hardest to achieve them.
Some of you will have heard of Brian Tracy and some of you may not. He is an inspirational speaker and a leading light in the area of self improvement. He has published numerous books on being successful and improving aspects of your life. I will not dwell too much in this article about his successful reputation and his work but if you are interested, I suggest you visit his very popular website at www.BrianTracy.com
Why, though, this article appealled particularly to me is that Brian has a product called Simplify Your Life. This was new to me as I was unaware that he was also involved in encouraging simplicity. This is principally an audio product that encourages the listener not only to simplify their life but also, in doing so, to reduce their stress, increase productivity, and take better control of their life. Which makes it sound a very attractive product.
