When you are young, life seems so simple and clear. Many things come easily because you are healthy, full of vitality, and open to future plans.

Over time, we begin to complicate simple things. But the truth is that life is still simple. It has not changed, we are the ones who have changed and have made it more difficult for ourselves. Is it possible to make your life as joyful and easy as it was before?

What happens when we become ‘adults’ and mature?

We begin to prohibit, restrain, and suppress ourselves, thereby fitting ourselves into the framework of conventions and constraints. Being children, we did not think about what to eat, what to wear, what time to go to bed. We were full of carefree joy, fun, laughter, we were just doing what we liked and what would make us happy.

We think a lot about things we didn’t think about before. Endless diets, special menus, carefully selected wardrobe, and work, work all the way. We buy a lot of unnecessary things to take care of our status and prestige.

It is a constant race for desired success at any price, even if it costs us our health, family, and a lot of time. This brings to our lives anxiety, fear, uncertainty, and concerns. All this makes us moody, eternally dissatisfied, tired, and ultimately, lifeless…

If you want to make your life easy and joyful again, use these tips:
