Simplification - Simplifying one's life through contemplation, slowing down, trusting convictions, concentrating on one's vocation or work, and finding balance within family life. 2. Solitude - Making wise use of solitude through private reflection, silence, and interior freedom while avoiding isolation; Jesus is an example of this. 3.
