The Art of Simplicity as a Practice

Keeping things simple isn't always simple. When we keep things simple in the mind it can help us get clear, stay focused, and get things done, but takes mindful commitment and consistency. . At the same time, we are also emotional beings, and emotions are complex. We have to feel, not analyze them in order to move through the energy of what they bring, and then pass through. In addition, we can also take the art of simplicity as a practice, and turn it into a crutch to avoid emotional entanglements or stay risk averse. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about how the art of simplicity is a balance that changes as we do. I offer tips on how to stay mindful given the situation and tips on how to make sure you are using the art of simplicity in positive ways.
