This is also an irony! All through our early adult life we add things to our life assuming it will make us more complete. And after realization sets in that those accessories were the ones that created stress in the first place, we get down to "detox" our lives by learning to simplify our lives.
We have restarted our camping vacations now & it is life changing, to say the least. Canadian hotels are expensive. For the sweeping array of places that we would love to see, camping proves to be a decent-budget option, if not the only one.
Earlier, we always carried a laptop so that we could stay connected. But these days, we just love the fact that the places we go don't have access to the rest of the world. With the phone & internet turned off, we turned "ourselves" on. And all of a sudden it looks like we got new self's.
Weekend comes & goes. No doubt we end up working more than we usually do. But the fact remains that we enjoy every bit of what we do & hence only feel rejuvenated. Ready to take the routine of the 5 days ahead.
How beautiful would it be if we do only that we enjoy? Shouldn't we be doing only that? Wouldn't that be an insurance for leading a stress-free life?

Soo true about the remove the constant need to turn on and tune into the internet.
To the questions .. well that's not possible. It is the other way round. We should enjoy whatever we do. If only certain things bring happiness, then we are slaves to the external circumstances. And that is not smart, its a limited life.
Agreed- it just sounds good, but very tough to implement. We are trying and getting there... thanks to Isha and Sadhguru.
However.. Following your passion is very important if thats what you meant. -anupama
Anupama,
I meant to say that if we are truly open & in the moment, we will enjoy whatever we do. Because we will pay attention to what is around us & everything around us will seem like a miracle, because it really is.
