  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity
    Social media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also create echo chambers and take more time than we realize or intend to give. After completing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?

    I feel better, i feel more connected to myself. Instead of social media, I have been focusing on reading and my reading goals.

    Creativity is a necessary ingredient in practicing simplicity because living a minimalist lifestyle makes you create different ways to use things than its original use, for example.

    This was very beneficial. It helped me focus more on reading books that I have been wanting to read.
