People talk about prominent sports figures “getting back to basics”, and the concept seems to ring true, either from practical experience or common sense. You should be able to do the same thing with your personal life. The question is, what exactly are the basics of your personal life? What is it you get back to and practice? Do you practice living in the moment, or planning for the future. Focusing on hard work, or playing. Taking care of yourself first, or helping others? The question makes me think back to Psych 101 and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Find what level you’re on, and what would be appropriate for meeting those needs. Then again, I may be intellectualizing/overthinking it. What advice would you give to someone who is trying to simplify their life and “get back to basics”. And do you live by your own advice?
