Welcome to your ✨Monday Moment✨
Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.
Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣
Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.
🔴 Take a moment to think about what simplicity means to you. What parts of your life feel better when things are simple, and where could you simplify a little more?
🟠 Take a moment to ponder the meaning behind this quote from Leonardo Da Vinci, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” What do you think he meant by that? Do you agree with him?
🟡 Take a moment to simply breathe. Sit in a moment of simplicity. No rules, no instructions, just you and your breath flowing in and out. Do this anytime things have got a little overcomplicated.
🟢 Take a moment to think of someone in your life who simply enjoys life. How do they embrace simplicity? Is there anything you have learnt from them to apply to your own life?
🔵 Take a moment to think about which meal you would choose to represent simplicity. What would it be, and why? Is it something familiar, comforting, or made with just a few ingredients?
🟣 Take a moment to learn about a simple but powerful idea known as Occam’s Razor. It comes from the 14th-century philosopher and theologian William of Ockham, who believed that when we’re faced with different explanations, the simplest one is often the best. The ‘razor’ part was added later by other scholars and refers to the metaphor of shaving away what’s unnecessary
A closing moment to take another deep breath together. Hold it, feel it, and gently exhale. We humans can make life very complicated – we overthink, overbuy, overplan, overworry, overstress, and more, all in the pursuit of a better life. In truth, what we often need most is simplicity: to strip away the unnecessary. As this week unfolds, pause for a moment, look for ways to simplify, and reach for the many simple joys around you to lift your day.

Despite constant suggestions otherwise, I like to keep my ✨moments✨ subscription free. Why? Because it doesn’t feel right to charge. I do, however, still have to pay for my website and my WordPress membership. So, if you fancy treating me to a coffee as a one-off blanket “thank you,” that would be appreciated and very lovely indeed ☕️💙
