Working less, consuming less, having less stuff.

I think simple living is owning only what you need (exceptions for a few wants), growing your own organic food or buying organic food, and being able to enjoy life with minimal stressors.

Purposefully constructing my life and orientating my actions in a way that resists the emergent inclination of our modern society to add complexity to life without compelling benefit. Simply put, seeking happiness through simplification.This can look different for everyone. For me personally this means closeness to nature, friendship and conversation, minimizing my financial obligations which minimizes my need to work, limiting screen time and unhelpful technology, striving to be present and appreciative, slowing down and enjoying stillness, caring for what I have, releasing myself from pressure to be someone else’s “better” while remaining ambitious toward exploring my passions. These are just a few aspects that come to mind.

Cooking every day

Purpose. To me at least, there is no such thing as useless as long as whatever that is considered has a purpose. A real considered purpose.
