When I say “Simplify For The Good Life”, I am simply challenging you to change your mindset to possibly live without so “much”. FREE yourself!!! Most humans consume to much, we over indulge in everything. We buy to much, eat to much, drink to much, work to much, and we convince ourselves that it is solving something. We look through social media and look at other people’s lives and instantly don’t feel like ours is enough anymore. So, we go buy better clothes, more clothes, the new hottest trends or we buy more items that we think we need. A new cooking utensil, or book, or house decor items, or even worse a newer car or bigger house that we can’t afford just to fill that void. I currently clean people’s houses and it is so sad to see all the piles of unused stuff that was purchased on a whim and now sits in the corner with its tags still on it. I see walk in closets the size of bedrooms overflowing with clothes that no one ever wears. I see clients move their junk piles around so I can clean and then move it back. It’s been a year and most of those piles are still there while Amazon boxes are still arriving and I can’t help but shake my head. It’s time to stop buying and start evaluating. I once went a month without buying any additional food……a month with a family of four……..and what I learned was I buy way more food then my family can eat & I end up throwing a lot of food away. I was horrified by myself. I no longer have a walk-in pantry overflowing with food that will most likely expire before we can eat it. I no longer feel the need to have my fridge and freezer crammed full to somehow make me feel like this is what makes me a good mom. I no longer have a deep freezer full of more food that will most likely expire before we ever had a chance to eat it. I continue to self corrected those toxic habits and changed the story line. I now keep about a week to 2 weeks worth of food in my house at a time and I now keep my dry goods in a cupboard, yes 1 cupboard in my kitchen instead of a walk-in pantry. Let me say this, I have yet to run out of food and we eat most of our meals at home. Yes I know it’s scary to change those behaviors that are so engrained into us and yes it’s really hard when family and friends think you are a little crazy but trust me it’s so FREEING!!! I am excited to go on this journey with you! I will show you some of the things that helped me get more balance back into my life. Let’s do this!
