Elegant Simplicity-Letting Go of Excess

2010 November 11

Do you plan ahead and act quickly?  If so, you win.  Check the P.S. at the end of this message.

Today’s topic: “Elegant Simplicity”

“The Power of Purpose: The Art of Living in Excellence” is the first time I started helping people live a life of elegant simplicity.

To me, it means creating a life that’s both easy and lovely.  Letting go of excess, whether that’s clutter or emotional baggage.

Think about what physical items in your living space (home, apartment, whatever it may be) truly have value.  Consider letting go of items that are functional, but you simply don’t use them anymore.

This is an especially good time of year to contribute your extra items to thrift stores.

Consider this, because of your openness to letting go, someone else will be able to buy something wonderful at a price they can afford.  They feel  good because they earned the money to buy the items themselves.

You feel good because you made that possible.

Do you know you actually get a rush of the “feel good” hormone when you give?  Ahhh, life is good.

It helps to release the clutter when you keep picturing how happy someone else will be when they buy your items.

And, your home will be less cluttered, and easier on your eyes, your heart and your soul.

More on “Elegant Simplicity” in future notes.

P.S. Those of you who plan ahead for the gifting season: You can get my entire book library of 4 books for college and college-bound students, AND “The Power of Purpose” AND a FR*E*E certificate for a coaching session with me (a fun gift) for only $97.

Please know that this is only a deal I can offer for a short time, as obviously, there’s only so much time I can coach!  You can use the coaching session for yourself, or give it to someone you love. (Yes, I do coach college and college-bound students!)
