“降低生活水平以提高生活质量的行为。”

— Investopedia

“……减速生活者,一个已经决定在自己的职业生涯中,更多并不总会变得更好的人。尽管总有一些退出企业者讨厌所谓的“老鼠赛跑”,但低调的人只是希望生活更加平衡。他们可能会选择退出公司生活,或者只是通过减少压力较大和耗时的工作来简化生活,以更加节俭的生活方式来弥补收入的下降。”

—《华尔街日报》

减速生活是迈向简单之路的第一步。

— 闲人·迪克森


减速生活也提倡简单的生活方式。它主要关注生活的三个外部方面:

  • 消费 — 有目的的购买。坚持基本需求。更少的支出意味着更少的债务和不能带来欢乐的东西。
  • 事业 — 少工作,多生活。不要忙着你的工作。减少工作时间或者找一份要求不高的工作。
  • 生活方式 — 简单,健康,更环保。整理房子。把对你重要的事情放在首位并坚持下去。花更多的时间在个人发展上,培养一个新的爱好,和家人出去或者在公园散步。

我发现减速生活对心理健康的改善作用有限。忙碌不仅是我们社会的步伐,而且是我们的思想。有必要努力使“猴子的思想”平静下来,才能真正享受您的生活。但是减速生活是迈向简单之路的第一步。

iSAVvy: Financial Independence — The Lows

Low on cash? What have you been spending on? Image from: Photo by  cottonbro  from  Pexels Financial independence is essentially able to sustain your lifestyle with the amount of money you have without working. This is one of life’s most difficult problems everyone has and many are unable to overcome it. —— Dickson Idlier I am not a financial consultant. What I wrote here is purely my opinion. The road to my financial independence is essentially be low on debts and expenses and high in investments and assets. How to control your expenses and debts depends on what is essential to you. I prefer rejecting any instalments (debts) whenever possible and have a simple lifestyle. After these, then build up your savings, investments and assets. This is how I did without many details but I think it is the easiest to get started. Ways to keep a low debt and expenses: Food is essential but not all kinds of food. Try keeping food expenses low but not compromising on quality. Reduce ...

BrainTeasers: Most bizarre Find

When dumpster diving, you may find interesting stuff as you salvage through the green and blue trash bins and any items people left at the void decks. Here I will show you my most bazzar find. My most bazaar find is ... a Living   11-inch Freshwater Stingray .  My bazzar find live stingray in my 3 ft aquarium The 11 inch freshwater stingray was found in a broken 3ft tank beside the rubbish chute and slightly hidden by some kids' clothes laid on top of the tank. (I suspect the owner doesn't want anyone to notice it) Initially, I was only interested in the kids' clothes until I noticed it inside. When I saw it breathing, it surprised me. I was wondering how can I rescue it. I thought of releasing it in any pond or canals, but none is nearby (luckily as it might be a bad thing to do so). Finally, I decided to bring it home. I used a kids top to hold the tail and put it into a basket that was lying nearby. I carried the basket to my home.  Luckily, after the rough journey hom...

IdlierStories: Be Happy With What We Have

Positive Brain Facebook Group A Sage was passing through the capital city of the famous king. While he was walking, he noticed a single currency coin on the road. He picked it up. He was satisfied with his simple living and he had no use of that coin. So, he planned to donate it to the one who is in need of it. He strolled around the streets throughout the day but didn’t find anyone such. Finally, he reached the rest area and spent a night there. Next morning, he wakes up in the morning for his daily activities and sees that a king is going for his invasion of another state with his war ready army. When the king saw the sage standing, he ordered his army to be stopped. He came to the Sage and said, “Oh Great Sage, I am going to war to win another state so that my state can be expanded. So bless me to be victorious”. After thinking, Sage gave a single currency coin to the king! The king was confused and annoyed with this because what use he has for a single coin while he is already one ...
