The Noise Is Loud, But Simple Things Still Work

Maybe I'm not getting the exact point of the first two prompts but they seem similar to me, or maybe my response will blend both somehow because they are both about simplicity and if there's one thing I've been trying to prioritise more in my life is how to make things simpler.

The world keeps getting so noisy that it's hard to stay silent or experience a quiet space for even few minutes, it's getting hard to have a hold of the simple things that brings joy to oneself. But everything changes when the simple things are all I am in search of, this gets rid of distractions.

Before the month of June began, I was struggling to find clarity on the exact things I need to do differently to have better stories to tell by the end of the month, it was a struggle until I reminded myself of the daily small acts I have been doing that have changed so much about me positively.

I figured I work best when I break things down to the very small or tiny action to take, even if it feels like I've slowed down or I may seem lazy to those around who are hanged on the big moves. Those are beautiful too, if you know how to figure things out that way but I've learned, not for me.

As simple as being able to remember to take more water daily and resting when I feel overwhelmed, I have to come to find this ritual too sacred to let go of. It has been a lot of help to my body and it's even more beautiful that I can tell the difference from when I wasn't and now.

Walking in nature is one simple thing I know that can be meaningful for my life because of the life I want and living it now is just as meaningful. I haven't been consistent with it but it's a part of what I want to do differently for this new month, to watch and appreciate the simplicity in nature.

Talking to a family, a friend and even a stranger has a sacred feeling to it for me too. I spent last night sharing views with a friend and I realized just how much humans are connected and how much we do need each other to learn about ourselves. I learnt something new about myself.

Being myself, learning to stay true to my feelings and understand the exact actions I need to take to build the life that I want, is a simple thing that has helped me understand what is real and true, even though not a high speed. Everything can't be figured out yet but I love the clarity that comes from focusing on just one simple or single thing.

I'm looking forward to recognizing all the simple moments that holds meaning in my life, it's an intentional thing I plan to do because I've come to realize that I work best with that part of life.
