I'm all for simple living, everything about it really.
Yet I can't seem to get with the program and SIMPLIFY.
I think I have the hardest time because their are so many parts of my life I want to simplify that I shave a bit off of here a bit off of there and in the end, really nothing has been simplified.
I want to simplify my belongings. (Clothes, furniture, food, toys "Amalie's and my own.")
I want to simplify my monthly budget, and my activities.
The stress I have on a daily basis comes from a few things:
A messy room
A messy childs room
A messy toy room
I really want to get rid of half of the "stuff" in each space to create an openness that makes you feel relaxed. Which none of these rooms feel very welcoming now.
I started to write down all the things I wanted to do to make this happen, and again OVERLOAD. And nothing gets done, because I start thinking about another area of life that needs revising and a to do list/action plan.
So alas I'm content with baby steps. Even though my first step is a baby step it feels huge !
Our storage unit is getting a facelift.
My motto:
If I haven't thought about it in 6 months.....
It's outta here !!!
Thankfully my neighborhood is hosting a missive 75+ house garage sale soon and I get the opportunity to sell all my stuff (fingers crossed) and take the first step towards simplicity.
Also hoping I make enough to tack a bit of cash onto our emergency fund. (Thanks Dave Ramsey, ha !)
