Ever feel like you’re on a never-ending treadmill, trying to keep up with the Joneses, or just plain overwhelmed by all the stuff in your life?
Well, you’re not alone. It’s time to hit the pause button, take a deep breath, and start simplifying.
Simplicity isn’t necessarily easy in a world set against it, but it’s still possible. Millions of people are purposefully embracing a simple life—and loving it! You can too.
Here’s how we can do it together, one step at a time.
1. Give Those Catalogs the Boot
Start with tossing out those catalogs that make you want things you didn’t even know existed. Out of sight, out of mind!
2. Avoid the Mall Like It’s Playing Non-Stop Boy Band Reunions
Imagine the mall is hosting an endless boy band concert. Unless that’s your jam, let’s find other places to hang out.
3. Turn Off the TV and Turn Up Your Life
TV off, real life on. Rediscover what hobbies you loved before binge-watching became a thing.
4. Follow the One-In, One-Out Rule—Always
New shoes in? Time to say goodbye to an old pair. Keep your space and your mind clutter-free.
5. Pick Up Your Gratitude Journal
Instead of wanting more, let’s be thankful for what we’ve got. Grab that journal and start listing!
6. Break Up with the Amazon App
Deleting that app off your phone? Yep, that’s the breakup text we all need to send for a simpler life.
7. Tell Your Whole Family
Get everyone on board. Chat with your kids about why less is more and watch the idea grow.
8. Dive Into a Room-by-Room Purge
Ready for a treasure hunt through your own home? Let’s find what you truly love and need, and say goodbye to the rest.
9. Give—and Then Give Some More
Found stuff you don’t need? There’s someone out there who would treasure it. Let’s spread the love.
10. Pat Yourself on the Back—You’re Doing Great
This isn’t a race. Each step you take is a victory. Celebrate your progress and keep going!
Stepping into a simpler life doesn’t mean giving up joy. In fact, it’s just the opposite. It’s about making space for the joy that’s been buried under all our stuff.
So, let’s take these steps together and discover the beauty of a life uncluttered. Are you in?
