Food for Thought

“Simplifying our lives in even little ways can make a big difference. If you fill up all your time, you won’t have any. And you probably won’t even be aware of why you don’t. Simplifying may mean prioritizing the things that you have to and want do to and, at the same time, consciously choosing to give certain things up. It may mean learning to say no sometimes, even to things you want to do or to people you care about and want to help so that you are protecting and preserving some space for silence, for non-doing.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn
From the book “Full Catastrophe Living”
