Why do we complicate things when simplicity is the key to all things. It is the key that unlocks and nourishes our Soul from the chaos in our surroundings.
However, at times being occupied with eighteen thousand things
at once may seem like the wisest thing to do. Whether these occupancies are taking place literally or in our mind it is often bringing us nothing but endless results. And when we attract these results, our mind runs wild as our actions also began to weigh us down while the burden to do more continues to arise bringing nothing but stress.
Instead of realizing these dilemma and seeking to bring a positive, stress free, simple result to it, we bring more guilt upon our selves all for the sake of people pleasing, panic attacks and anxiety. This is so because we have failed to take time to really analyze and filter all the negative thoughts that are keeping us so busy and burned out.
Nevertheless, the thought of keeping it simple is the last thing on our mind. For some, to take it easy means take up the burden and worry more and hopefully God will work it out; and for others it may seem as though one has lost their dignity to do such thing as "keep it simple"
for worrying is the new simplicity in their mind. One day at a time is all that we are required to take, for there is so much to appreciate within a minute and
"...each day has enough trouble of its own". These troubles however, are the ones we've packed up and gave a room to occupy nothing but more drama in our conscious mind.
Why not find time to stop and take a deep breath and enjoy the presence of God. How simple does that sound, how simple it is. Do it now, even as you are reading this article. Inhale...Exhale. We must try our best to become more conscious of the simple things such as nature, the air that we breathe, ground that we walk on, considering our family and friends, appreciating the beauty of creation, etc.
Become conscious of creating simple avenues for the "complex situations". Don't try to do so much at once. There is always going to be a solution to all that you're inquiring about. So why not reload your mind and find the solution slowly rather then losing hope and getting frustrated with so many things at once. Remember that it all starts with our mind. And yes it is possible to renew our minds and live a freeing simple life no matter how the work load may seem. You've placed that work load there then you can gradually find peace and reassurance in every compartment. The chose is yours.
By keeping it simple we are learning to take things one step at a time and training our mind to perceive in God's way which is the right way. If for example, you have a lot to read or a lot that you'd like to read, whether its for your own leisure time, school, work or spiritual growth. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, why not first find what is it that your soul is longing for. Whatever that may be it will then direct you to the right path because
the Spirit of God is always speaking and teaching us, yet how often are we attentive to the voice of Spirit? Remember that divine substance holds us and by having that substance which comes from God, we will be lead in perfect peace and order in what to do and thus keep things simple.
Another example we can examine is a stressful parent concerned about his child's academic success. They start worrying as typical parents often do and only can see bad results for the collective consciousness of peer pressure has overtaken him. Now continuing in that state of mind we know where it will end.
Therefore, why not chose to realign those thoughts in Divine Mind- the mind that only perceives perfect order. No matter how powerful you may feel that trouble and negative thoughts are the way for your child's future; think again and let the mind of Christ that is in you be reconnected to see the promises of God.
Allow your worries to be transformed into joyful answered prayers. Let those thoughts become thoughts of encouragement and know that we can only triumph once we've overcome the world consciousness of fault, guilt and judgment which we have in Christ. Be also open to have a teachable heart to let the intuitive lead of the Spirit of God guide you and your child.
You are God's achievement- simple yet perfect in the eyes of God and that is how to simplify everything that comes your way. Let us keep in mind that it is not our place to panic, but to be free and keep it simple. For panicking comes from a busy mind that only brings chaos.
The key is yours. The key is simplicity and simplicity has a place for you to take control consciously and keep things simple.
Until then, make it a productive "simple" One,
Love,
