15 Ways to Simplify Your Life and Attract Happiness
The saying that “you alone are responsible for your happiness” is 100% true!
No one is responsible for how you think, feel or behave.
There’s nothing that is directly proportional or a direct recipe for happiness.
You alone decide what kind of emotions you want to feel or allow yourself feel irrespective.
As long as you’re healthy, you have a place to sleep and food to eat, then being happy becomes a thing of personal choice .
Money is not directly proportional to happiness, your physique isn’t, neither is your closet filled to the brim with exotic and most fashionable items the world can present.
Happiness is what you alone decide to feel in whatever state you are, in life.
Two years ago, I wasn’t feeling like this—I over-complicated my life with things I did not realize I could actually be happy without.
I worried obsessively over my postpartum belly, I couldn’t bear to take my eyes off my ugly stretch marks and most annoyingly, I had a hard time accepting the new look of my breast.
At the peak of all my unhealthy worries, I top it up with a growing financial concern.
Those two years were very intense, I had very little reason to be happy, I was slowly diving into depression and burdening my soul for no alarming reason.
But later on, a spontaneous chain of events turned things around for me, and I am still grateful to have gone through those turmoils.
They changed my life forever!
Decluttering and downsizing my entire life became the ultimate solution to all my unhealthy worries.
I choose to attract happiness by simplifying my life in whatever way I can.
This happiness I feel right now, is long lasting…and as long as I am healthy, have a place to sleep and food to eat, then I am good to go. I also learnt how to save money as a stay at home mom.
Here are 15 helpful tips that will help you simplify your life and attract happiness in whatever state you are right now.
They may seem vague while going through them, but they are very powerful with a long-lasting effect.

How ironic?…Those who try so hard to be perfect are usually the people who make the most dangerous mistakes.
Nobody gets a bag full of peace or happiness for striving so hard to be the best employee, parent, friend or neighbour.
You can never be perfect.
As humans, we are naturally designed with loopholes.
Trying so hard to be perfect will depress you, soak you in unnecessary anxiety and keep you always on your toes.
Nobody needs that!

Strive to live life for yourself, don’t live a pretentious life or try to please anyone because you can’t!
When you live your life mostly to please someone in your life, it won’t yield a happy result in the long run.
At some point, it will yield resentment and regrets.
14. Forgive and move on
Forgive and move on from the people who hurt you in the past, forgive and move on from the mistakes that you’ve made in the past.
Holding onto hurt, grudges and hate will only impede your mental and spiritual growth.
Although it is easier said than done, it is totally doable if you seek happiness and growth from life.

Temporal contentment is usually the key to open doors to greater abundance in your life.
Be happy with whatever you have in your life right now and strive towards achieving other heart held desires.
