Oh, thanks for this! You explained why it only takes my husband two minutes to buy a shirt. I'm also looking at our list of what we want in a retirement home. Hmmm. Might rethink and give myself a few less choices, then I have a better chance of avoiding paralysis. Great job!
Ah I needed to hear this. I really need to stop wanting more...more stuff...more expetiences...more love. Getting the next things whatever it might be is so addictive, you get a hit every time but in the end of the day it is an addiction and doesn't lead to long-term contentment and satisfaction. I think acceptance and gratitude (for what you already have) are key here. Interestingly, most inventions in the world and creative output has been produced in circumstances of lack. When you lack something you are really pushed to find a solution, pushed to work with what you've got and the satisfaction of solving such life's puzzles is much more valuable to than the hit of acquiring more. I've been very abstract but imagine coming up with the most delicious meal out of the unassuming scraps you've got left in your fridge and cupboards! Or think of those famous artists who have created masterpieces with found objects (literally rubbish or everyday objects they found) instead of using fancy and expensive art supplies...
Yes, you described it wonderfully🙏🏼 thanks for being so open, I dont have much to add. Just, take your time. Each path has their own way, turns and unseen twists sometimes just lurking around to corner. Life can be so beautiful, we are just to noisy to see it from time to time
