Ask:
For me simplicity means ....
Living life in the slow lane / slowing down
Putting people first.
Reducing clutter (financial clutter, household clutter and emotional clutter)
Finding meaningful work
Being engaged with people (not being distracted, really listening)
Reducing consumption that is wasteful (too much stuff or too much packaging)
Being thankful for what I have rather than wishful for what I want.
Giving back to the world more than I take from it. (volunteering / environmentalism / tree planting & gardening)
What does simplicity mean for you?
Answer:
Kathryn, my list is similar to yours:
Decluttering all areas of your life (not only your home but your schedule as well)
Reducing consumption
Filling your calendar only with the most meaningful activities
Utilizing your unique skills and talents in some way
Valuing people and relationships over things
Being present in the moment (mindfulness)
Connecting with something on a spiritual level
Answer:
I like both of your lists -- I'm going to tape them on my cupboard!
