Ok, I\u2019m almost laughing as I write. And this whole process of writing this blog post just shows me again how much I need this. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, my seemingly simple word for 2021 isn\u2019t that simple for me!  <\/span>What\u2019s my word and intention setting for this year you wonder? It\u2019s simple – Simplify. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, that word has been with me since December. And since then I wanted to sit and write down what it means to me, why I got drawn to that word as an intention by the end of last year.<\/p>\n

It seemed easy enough. But what I didn\u2019t expect was to experience such blockage and resistance with this word even though I really embrace it! Such a contradiction, after all I was really excited when I settled on that intention. Yet whenever I wanted to dig deeper and share my thoughts on this I got tangled. I started over-thinking, over-analyzing every single step. I ended up not getting anything sorted, neither in my head nor on paper. Instead of keeping it simple it got all out of proportion and complicated. <\/span><\/p>\n

On a plus though, it just shows how much I need this word and that intention, doesn\u2019t it?  <\/span><\/p>\n

The first three months of the year (almost 4) have passed and neither did I get the \u201csimple” message on paper nor any other post. But looking back, I at least simplified my mindset regarding a few things at home. So, yes I started to simplify here and there. While that might not have been the way I had in mind to start this, it was a start and a step into the right direction. Yes, I’m learning to be kinder to myself here too!<\/p>\n

But now, it\u2019s enough. It\u2019s time to take this further. I\u2019ve been pondering too much on this, noticed how I procrastinate instead of moving forward. Perhaps getting it on paper (well, screen) and out of my head will help me in my first big step to really simplify!<\/p>\n

Like with most things, we\u2019re all different and what works for one won\u2019t work for the other. The same counts when it comes to simplify. <\/span><\/p>\n

But isn’t that as well the great thing about sharing our thoughts and ideas? We can learn from one another, get ideas and perhaps even inspire each other. <\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sure I could need help and ideas from others when it comes to simplify. But let me start by sharing my thought and ideas on this. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I want to simplify? <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Because I\u2019m tired of overthinking, realize how that is holding me back and I hope that it will support my personal growth even further.<\/p>\n

By starting to simplify some areas in my life – and head – I believe I will be able to <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Create more headspace <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Feel freer \/ lighter<\/li>\n
  • Put more ideas out there <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Shift focus onto things I can control<\/li>\n
  • Stop procrastinating (or at least reduce that area\u2026)<\/li>\n
  • Feel more grounded – less annoyed (by myself and others)<\/li>\n
  • Feel more confident in some areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    But like so many things in life, knowing something and doing something isn\u2019t the same or easy. So, here’s what comes to my mind when it comes to simplify my approach overall (in no particular order)<\/p>\n

      \n
    • More doing – less pondering, overthinking<\/li>\n
    • Do – Don\u2019t wait for perfect<\/li>\n
    • Break it down, small steps<\/li>\n
    • You don\u2019t have to do it all at once <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Doing something is better than nothing<\/li>\n
    • Short and sweet and easy<\/li>\n
    • Structure tasks to do<\/li>\n
    • Stop comparing<\/li>\n
    • Trust your gut feeling<\/li>\n
    • Get it out of the head and onto paper <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Talk and share with others <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Take that first step – don’t think too far ahead<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Learn from the past<\/li>\n
    • Don’t let mistakes hold you back, learn from them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It\u2019s kind of funny that \u201csimplify\u201d gives me such a headache, <\/span>seeing that I generally focus on the simple things of life in my day to day life. And that works well and brings me joy. Yet, when it comes to my thoughts, ideas and plans that\u2019s when I start to overthink, overanalyse and get all caught up in my head. You have no idea about the head drama that plays there at times. Geeh!<\/p>\n

      Simple things suddenly get really complicated in my mind. And that tends to leave me feeling stuck and overwhelmed, at times even leading to fear. And that spinning mind of mine simply won\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

      So, for now this is a start. It will help to stop that spinning mind of mine. I figured out a few areas and ways of improvement already and I\u2019m sure I will notice along the way that some work out, some not and things will change. But this is ok, that’s life. What counts is that I\u2019ve started and finally got this onto paper.<\/p>\n

      Have you simplified some area(s) in your life? Can you share it with me to get more ideas on how to approach this intention of mine even better? I would love to hear from you! <\/span><\/p>\n

      Finding my ease by simplifying areas in my life this year, let\u2019s see how that one continues. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Thanks for being here with me, <\/span><\/p>\n

      I hope you are well, wherever you are, <\/span><\/p>\n

I spend more than 16 years overseas and currently call Muscat, Oman home. Over the years I got inspired to support and guide others who feel a bit lost or overwhelmed, especially when living abroad. I do that with this blog, local small-sized Yoga \/ fitness classes, meditation and coaching. No matter how I connect, it's all set up to bring a sense of ease to the reader, participant or client. After all, life is kind of a rollercoaster ride and pushes us around. And whether you move around or not it can feel overwhelming at times, no? A bit more about myself - I have three kids that keep me busy and on my toes. I love to meet and exchange thoughts and experiences with others across the globe. And Yoga, cardio workouts and meditation are my go-to to keep (and at times find) my own ease I hope you find this page a source of inspiration to feel relaxed and inspired - or simply put \"at ease\"!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expatease","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/expat_ease\/?hl=en"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/simplify-e1632038806173.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s8ZGLH-simplify","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10082"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10596,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10082\/revisions\/10596"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
