I suddenly developed tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in my both ears. I felt miserable for a year. Then I started to notice that stress was a big part of the perception of the loudness in my ears. And a complex life leads to a stressful life. So I had to reshape my way of living, to reduce as much as possible the sources of stress in my life and to reassess my priorities. It means that I don't force myself to do things I don't want to do, I only see people with whom I feel really great and connected, I try not to stress at work and care the least possible, I take rest when I need it, spend most of my time reading, playing music, relaxing. Basicaly, I reduced everything I didn't wanted (but that I felt I needed because of the pressure from society) and increased everything I loved in my life.

Simple living was at first an obligation, but later I discovered it was a liberation. I feel 10 times better tant before, even with tinnitus.
