stop filling all the spaces.
—
as you simplify,
let the extra spaces
in your home,
on your calendar
and in your mind
be empty for awhile.
the emptiness may be uncomfortable at first,
but that’s where the answers lie.
soon you’ll have room for what you really want.

As a minimalist I rarely find the emptiness uncomfortable.

That’s funny. This morning I had a 45′ phone with a friend. She said to me: What are you doing (…. in your house, being often alone, etc….) and I replied: I love having some spaces in my agenda free – and then I fill them with reading, corresponding with bloggers, writing! Little did I know that this theme would come up only hours later!

Love more empty spaces. I just did my kitchen and I love my worktops so empty. It looks great and is more practical.

Yes very clearly speaks to me. I am more and more learning to feel at home with those spaces so I know exactly when and what to go for.

Such good advice. Silences and emptiness can be so uncomfortable, so difficult to manage… But so important sometimes. There doesn’t always need to be something filling space, just for the sake of filling space.

This is so hard for me. Especially with time. I long for more time, but when I have it, I have to work hard not to fill it with business.
