A Summary on the Video
The documentary video is all about the effective tips on how to simplify the life of an individual. From the demands of parenthood that are centered on the welfare, comfort, safety, happiness and love for the baby, continuously to the demands of work, and up to the performance of house chores, daily life commitments and errands, our life is indeed a full pack, as we live it out daily in accomplishment, completion and compliance. However, with this desire that we have purposefully, in living and driving our vehicle of life, we tend to forget that humans as we are, we need to take a break and that we need to rest. The inability to rest, rejuvenate and relax, results in a mental collapse, stressful lifestyle and a hampered way of living for the individual who is always on the go, in order to justly respond to the expectations that society and its people set for us as individuals. Thus, the video shares, to its viewers, essential tips on how an individual can create a demarcation line in living life in a simpler thrust and uncomplicated manner.
The first essential tip in simplifying life is; “Fewer People, Fewer Commitments”. It is considered to be a benefit for an individual to know a lot of people, but sometimes, it can be dangerous and toxic as well. In life, we can either be a slave or a free individual. If we choose to be a slave, then we would want to be preoccupied with everything that others ask from us in order to please them. But if we would want to live as a free individual, then we should disregard the practice of doing things just to please others. Thus, either if you are a businessman, a scholar, a traveller or an official, it is essential to work only on what is expected from you as an individual and not to go beyond it that may result in an eventual breakdown. As the adage says, “We can never serve two masters in one setting.”
The second essential tip in simplifying life is the need to Sleep. Humans as we are, we need to sleep as a personal need. It is good and admirable to thrive and work hard. But depriving yourself from sleep is another story. We are psychologically required to sleep for 7 to 8 hours in order to develop a vigorous and well-rested aura for the next day to come. Thus, never ever skip the grandest opportunity of going to bed at night for a healthier and longer life ahead of you.
The third essential tip in simplifying life is detachment with Media. News, current events and happenings worldwide that are dreadful, horrendous and inhumane may take a toll in our individual mental health. With everything that is going on around the world, the best way to use media in simplifying life is to detach yourself from being too sorrowful and sympathetic with the other people living in this world that are in danger and harm. Rather, it is best to go on with life, doing your own specific and respective daily errands and responsibilities and being mainly informed is evidently enough. Doing this will contribute in the long run to your healthy mental state of mind.
The fourth essential tip in simplifying life is Thinking. Humans as we are, we get anxious and worried even at the time when we rest and sleep at night. With this on hand, the goal of getting enough rest and sleep is not achieved. As a result, the human individual’s attention is divided. In order to simplify life in our way of thinking, we must take into consideration the three tenet questions of anxiety. First, what is making you anxious, second, what pain is causing you to be anxious and third is what makes you excited in order to forego anxiety. Thus, it is essential for every human being to pause for a while, and think deeply through the process of sifting even just for a minute of two. Sifting would mean doing first what is most important at the time being and doing last what is least needed.
The fifth essential tip to simplifying life is handling Expectations. It is an added plus in life to be famous, extraordinary and world-beating. But at the end of the day, being sane and kind matters a lot to every individual concerned who lives life to what is only expected from him or her. Living life in a simple manner, gives the individual the opportunity to devoid one’s self from being so famous, to restructure priorities and to avoid backing out from challenges. These are ways on how to handle expectations in simplifying life.
In conclusion, a little quiet time allows every individual to ponder that there are a lot of things that simply matter such as Family, Health, Friends, and Nap, to mention a few in life, more than the manic madness of people that we join in walking on the busy streets, the high buildings with well-lit offices that we work in, and to be on the spotlight that may lead to fame. These simple things create the perfect ingredients that are needed for the simple bowl of life.
