Yesterday I was at the grocery store, picking out some yogurt. As I looked at all the rows and dozens of choices, my eyes started to swim.

So many choices!, I thought, shaking my head. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to refocus. Huffing, I grabbed one of the many choices and moved on.

How many times have you said this to yourself when looking for something in a store? Think about the vegetable aisle. There arent 18 different kinds of broccoli to choose from, there are usually no more than 3 (organic, conventional, and crowns are typical). You just pick a bunch that looks fresh, colorful, and nice, and off you go. Easy peasy.

I decided to experiment and started limiting my daily choices. Soon I noticed a decrease in my levels of stress and anxiety. That irritating monkey-mind began to fade a little. The pace of life seemed to ease towards the slow lane. It became clear as humans, we really do thrive on simplicity.

How can you limit the number of choices you have when there are a multitude of choices staring you in the face? There are so many choices, so much to choose from, so many things to consider!

This is where the power of 3 comes into play. Heres how to do it:

It may take a little minute to train your brain around this concept, so be patient with yourself and remember your objective to decrease the clutter in your mind, increase your mental clarity, and allow for more time for the things that really matter to you.

The power of 3 can be applied to many areas of your life:

Here are some more ways to use the power of 3 in your life:

3s may even start to hop over fences in your dreams!

Youre probably saying it doesnt apply to everything. True enough, it might not. You certainly have more than 3 pairs of shoes, but what if you broke your shoes down into categories? 3 for each season, 3 for each occasion, etc. Look around and see where it DOES apply, and how your capable, clever, and creative mind can apply it. Soon more and more possibilities for simplicity will reveal themselves to your willing, eager mind.

So next time youre at the grocery store, eyes glazing over as you scan for the best product/price/choice, put the rule of 3 to work. There is great power within this method of 3 things see if you can unleash it in your life!
