April—budding trees, flowering magnolias, greening grass. In April, spring renews our environment. This April, through a book I’m revisiting, I’m also renewing me, and how I live my life. Why not you, too?
I’m re-reading a book about how to live your best life: “Simple Abundance: 365 Days to a Balanced and Joyful Life; A Daybook of Comfort and Joy.”
The book offers daily thoughts on how to live better. Its beautifully simple readings teach busy women consumed with to-do lists and accumulating things, how not to. It teaches us how to live better—and happier—by focusing on happiness as a state of mind–not acquisitions.
Author Sarah Ban Breathnach recommends we focus on:
Gratitude
Simplicity
Order
Harmony
Beauty
Joy
Sarah helps you simplify your life and remove mental and physical clutter to blossom gratitude. She helps you define and accept your true needs—without guilt.
You’ll focus on life’s wonders—great people, family, friends, and colleagues who bring you abundant joy. You’ll appreciate the good you do for others and the joy that brings them—and you. You’ll appreciate the little things in life—your beautiful flowers, or hilarious children, or a partner or friends that inspire your best qualities.
I recommend you memorialize these with a gratitude journal. One simple entry a day can enrich your life. Add photos to recall them tomorrow—or years from now. What’s not to love about reminders of joy and happiness?
Interested? I also offer coaching to help you live a better, happier, and more simplified life. Best of all, FOREVER® offers journals to simplify that, too.
Renew yourself this spring—and year—with a lifestyle focused on gratitude, simplicity, order, harmony, beauty, and joy. I’ll help you get there. Happy spring.
