When we first moved to the farm, we hoped that it would help us to simplify our lives. It’s not that our lives were completely chaotic, but we hoped that more space and less people would help us to slow down and focus on the things that were most important to us.
For me, simple living is not about living an austere life, but rather, valuing and using what we have and avoiding the idea that we constantly need new and better things to be happy. It’s about taking practical steps to eliminate the clutter, scale back the commitments, and make choices that give time to what is most important to us.
Do you wish you lived more simply? Got some tips to make life simpler? What things do you struggle with? I’d love to hear them!
I love the idea of simple… I dream about it. But I am my own worst enemy when it comes to simplifying pretty much anything. I'm ready chick – bring it on xx
I know!
Ah, simple. That's what I think I want until I go and say yes to yet another project. x
I have no problem if people want to chuck everything and have only three outfits etc, but for me its about having enough but not too much… trying to find that balance!
Absolutely bring it on!
I'm totally ready for this series – I feel like the word "simplify" has been haunting me lately. I'm feeling so cluttered and overwhelmed – bring on the simple I say!
I think I'm going to love this series, I totally agree it's not about being austere!
Thanks Denise! It will be a bit of trial and error I think!
Sounds a great series – just perfect for where I am at. I'm looking forward to hearing about what does (and doesn't) work and trying some of the things for myself.
