Diva's Musings
Creative visualization is all about using your imagination to create a mental picture of what it is you wish to manifest. Creating an idea or mental picture in your brain of exactly what it is you really want. Really putting together the entire scene, I like to imagine the moment right after I have received what I am looking to manifest. For example you might want a bright red shinning car, you … [Read more...]
You, Simplified is by Charley Forness of yousimplified.net. I like the fact that Charley was pretty clear that he wrote the book based on his personal experience, the idea, concepts and strategies in the book are what worked for him and his family. Charley definitely sounds like a fun guy! I’m Charley Forness. I’m 37, married to Nichole, have beautiful baby triplets (Bella, Owen and … [Read more...]
The book I was reading/studying this week is "in this very moment a simple guide to Zen Buddhism" by James Ishmael Ford. While the book is not specifically about "minimalism" it is about "simplicity". As I was saying on Facebook this week. I am feeling more and more that minimalism is not just about the physical clutter, but also the emotional clutter we carry in our lives. I feel a big part … [Read more...]
Another David Damron ebook :) from the minimalist path Simple and Healthy is stepping stone to start down the plan to a health life. David writes this book from the perspective of elite athlete. Even though I am training for a triathlon I am definitely an elite athlete... still very much a newbie. Two thirds of the book is about nutrition and what we eat, our diets. In principle I agree … [Read more...]
For years I have “endured” the minimal lifestyle sometimes that is just what life brings you. I have also been fortunate enough to basically have all of my needs meet plus. Am I a millionaire, no but do I really need to be? And while I am becoming a millionaire how am I impacting the earth? What kind of example am I setting for me kids? These questions and more have led me down the … [Read more...]
Since I have been reading and studying a lot about "minimalism" lately I wanted to review and update my personal LifeStyle Vision. I wanted to make sure it was really representing what I want from my life "today". I started by reading what I had written five years ago when I started down my path of self growth. Then I read what I had written a couple of months ago I found a couple interesting … [Read more...]
In the continuing study of Minimalism I have been reading "Thrive on Less: Simplifying in a tough economy" The main bases for the companion book is the impact that a minimal lifestyle can have on your economic future. It seems to be an easy correlation actually, if you need less stuff it will cost you less and that will make it easier for you to get through tough times. This is a free companion … [Read more...]
It seemed like a good idea to start at the beginning. I am starting a new Lifetick Goal - Create a Simple Minimal Lifestyle. I have been working on this for a while and I am looking forward to exploring more from other minimalist writers. Not so much a review, but how the book impacted me and my thoughts about that. Yep Another David Damron book. I have a few of his books. I am really … [Read more...]
I didn't realize it had been so long since I had written something here.... I have been writing in many other places! Triathlon 2010 is over at PureInsfusion.com and Project M-31 is over on Facebook Notes I must admit I have been mesmerized by the concept of Minimalism this past month or so. Now I have always, always loved the look of minimal interior design, but lets face it how do you accomplish … [Read more...]
You may have noticed that lately I have been studying a LOT about Minimalism, Simplicity, Productivity and Organization. Well I have some big goals that I want to accomplish and I want to do it faster, easier and have as much fun as I can doing it. I came across the blog The Minimalist Path a few weeks ago and I am impressed. Mostly with down to earth real way David Damron writes. It feels … [Read more...]
