Some personalities love to be busy and doing things constantly. They are generally wealthy as well if they would be doing it either way. They are cut from a different cloth. I am not as ambitious but also not materialistic and I have what I need and owe nothing to anyone so I am happy as well.

Interesting idea, but there is a paradox: In order to start subtracting and limit activities, we need to ADD subtracting into our plan and then ACTIVELY fulfill it.

What if boredom isn’t a problem… but an invitation?

I've been exploring this lately. Instead of trying to escape it, I let it remind me that I'm free to give my full attention to whatever is right in front of me.

When I do that, and stop letting the mind wander the way it usually does, everything feels lighter. And strangely, a lot more satisfying.

While i was busy living enjoying my own company, i realised after a while i actually have no friends around me…forget few…those that are there are owing to proximity and not real connection. I do crave real connection at times

Sometimes the best thing we can do for our lives is simply remove what doesn’t truly matter

I learned this when I was young and I called it "Cutting down wires " 😂 . When I was 24 years old I told myself I'll make sure that I'll live a happy and satisfied life . So, I researched what made me sad and restless . Through my own judgment and experience and I found a simple trick which is "cutting down unnecessary wires of unhappiness" which affects me badly . I chose the wire which I can cut easily without harming myself then the wire which I want to cut but couldn't so limit the access. I also learned that There are some times where you can't do anything like losing something by accident, natural disasters, death or seeing someone in a deathbed, getting robbed etc which also affects you deeply and shaken your life but those things are not in your control all you have to do is "stay calm and endure your misfortune" . You can do it by giving yourself a reason like "God is punishing or Bad karma " etc .

Subtracting sounds intriguing for change

This video really made me rethink my life. Maybe the problem isn’t what I lack, but all the excess I’m too afraid to let go of.

The principal here is similar to a sound engineer setting EQ on input channels. Some engineers start boosting treble, mids, or bass because they think it sounds better. Combine all the channels and it's overloaded and sounds terrible. The secret is to cut frequencies, not to boost them. When you cut, you're boosting the remaining frequencies without increasing volume. The mix sounds better.

People underestimate how boring I actually am lol

most comments on here focus on ‘having’ something sufficient (kids . romantic relationships . employment) instead of ‘being’, which is the experience of your children . spouce or work; if your attention is on having something you will always be essentially disconnected from it. personally I try to not want anything, including the not-wanting. this practice has led me to ‘see’ interesting things regarding what we call ‘reality’ .. my advice to others is – you shouldnt care about happiness, because its conditional and further it is made ever so small in direct proportion to its conditionality. happiness is a very small thing, this is why I dont want it. I rather achieve sovereignity, which is to be independent of and unaffected by everything, including what one would call the need to be physically alive .. this is what transcendance is ..

What is this song playing in the background?

I mostly agree. Still, the process of analyzing every choice we make in order to decide whether that thing/person/occasion is actually necessary, can itself be stressful

This is such an anodyne video. You have refuted every one of your own points. What was the point of making it in the first place?

''How often do we agree to do things simply because we can, because we have the time'' Never, with the soul exception of when I'm romantically interested in someone, which honestly is probably still a mistake.

we must not forget the benefit of exploration and giving a chance to some new activities and ideas. I'm trying to phrase with myself how precisionism could conflict with exploration and what balance to have a fulfilling life. If anyone have an image of that I'd appreciate to read your thoughts
