Simplicity
Some of you may have noticed the wordpress theme I use. It is simple. I want to try out new themes from time to time but this one is one of my favorites. While I’m a big fan of the Zen Habits blog I really like the Idea of simplicity. I’ve started to clean out my own room from unnessecary stuff from my childhood but its still quite messy in here. As I said in my first post I’m more the passive guy who likes many ideas but has a hard time in taking action and implement them. But as same as in my room I try to upgrade my blog theme, too.
Simplicity in my possessions
I am considering give some multimedia equipment away to my parents. I really dont need a big tv (I wouldn’t watch it often anyway) or my hi-fi system to be happy. Also I try to sell some of my old games and CDs at ebay to create some space. Right now it stagnates a bit but with time I’ll get ahead. It’s not easy to break the unconscious pattern learned within 18 years for simplicity’s sake, not at all. But I see the advantage in creating more space for new things and focusing on the really important stuff that affects me the most.
Creating space
I really like the idea of creating space for something new because if my room – or my life – is crowded with unnessecary stuff I even not know well, how in God’s sake could I attract new valueable things into my life? As same as money needs to be in a steady flow your life needs to align with the flow and not stagnate. If you want to get more things you cannot attract more without giving something away. As same as in the Law of Attraction you need to create within your life circumstances a flow that provides you with fresh and updated possessions or events that align with your current level of development. If you are a teenager you would’n play with playmobil anymore unless it provides you with more fulfillment then the opposite sex, music or sports. We are changing and growing all the time even when our bodys are outgrown. Try to keep your surroundings up to date with yourself.
how the external influences your inner being
There are times where I feel a need to clean up my room. I don’t often like to clean it up and feel no fulfillment while doing it but when this specific need appears I really feel like pushed from within myself to clean my room. I believe that this is the way my unconscious mind wants to tell me that I have to much stuff going on in my conscious mind and need to clean up a little bit. But why cleaning up my room and not meditating?
I believe that while cleaning up your room you get rid of many distractions you don’t even notice conscious in your everyday life but which are really stressfull for your uncounsciousness. At the same time you calm your mind through focusing on your external task. A clean room or desk can really influence you, your work and your level of hapiness and rest. But if you don’t clean up actively your uncounscious mind will remind you through your feelings ’cause they are your signals for your inner state. Every feeling has got a reason for appearing so don’t shut yourself.
Be aware. Be conscious.
