“What if we became crystal clear on what we wanted in life? If we knew what we wanted to create, how we wanted to live…we could say yes to these things and no to everything else. Saying no to more things would simplify our lives.” – Leo Babauta

Thanks to an assist from the master of simplicity and mindfulness Leo Babauta, founder of the Zen Habits blog, in this episode of BioTrust Radio, we’ll discuss 8 Key Lessons for Living a Simple Life. Here’s what you can expect to learn in this episode:

  • How many of the struggles we deal with and much of the stress we face are self-inflicted.
  • Why we need to become mindful of our attachments, which can lead to clutter and complexity.
  • Why you need to let go of your attachment to being busy.
  • Why you need to put everything you do into “full-screen mode” so you can put your full attention into the people and things that deserve it.
  • Why it’s important to schedule “padding” time between tasks, responsibilities, etc.
  • Why it’s critical to identify the simple things that you find the most joy in and compare that list with what you’re actually doing and spending time on.
  • Why setting boundaries, saying NO, and having an accountability partner are essential to living an infinitely better, simpler, and more joyful life.
  • Why sometimes doing absolutely nothing can lead to a greater sense of gratitude.
