Today's reading on Words of the Ancient Wise was from Epictetus, comparing philosophy and its study to medicine. Medicine is only effective for the illness it was intended for...
How does philosophy cure ills in my life? Well, philosophy helps us focus on the big rocks, the guiding ideals, the foundation of our life. Without a foundation, and a good one, the house of me will not stand. Mindfulness is essential to maintaining my balance in life. This year I will strive to create an environment in my home that nurtures mindfulness and peace.
My plan to create this environment is:
1. declutter each room, surface and cubby (including the shed and garage!) until only loved and essential items remain
2. renovate and decorate to allow each room to be a haven of calm
3. create and maintain routines, menus, etc. to ensure as little crisis and drama as possible
4. create healthy food to fuel our bodies and encourage our return to optimum health
Wish me luck! :)
