RIPE - the 4 steps towards dealing with your Void

Dealing with one's personal Void can be accomplished in 4 simple steps:

1. Realizing that one's lifestyle can not be maintained and the reasons for this realization.
2. Identify the complications now occupying your life
3. Prioritize and order the importance of each complication
4. Eliminate one by one each complication moving towards life simplification

These steps can be summarized in this acronym: RIPE for

       Realization: that your life will or must change

       Identification: determine your life's complications

       Prioritization: order by importance each complication

       Elimination: remove the impact of each complication in the order chosen

Each step will be dealt with in detail in 4 successive blog posting along with exercises on how to accomplish each step in order to prepare yourself for the coming economic downturn.

Realize that once you begin the process of LS (life simplification), you will hopefully embrace the concept that LS brings to one's life. That simplifying your life leads to a more fulfilling life experience and obtaining more life contentment without the need for complications that tend to mask the real happiness that life offers when lived in the moment.
