31 Ways To Simplify Your Life

February 15, 2019February 9, 2019

I love the word “Simplify.”

I think there is much peace, calmness, freedom, and rest in this word. Peace, knowing that you are living with what you actually use. Calmness, knowing that you aren’t living with all this clutter. Freedom, knowing you have freedom to live in your own home, instead of being overwhelmed with the stuff around you. Rest, knowing the less stuff you have, the less you have to take care of.

Since we are over a month into the new year, and your new year’s resolutions have been in practice for awhile if you made them, I want to add one more thing to that list. Rather, I don’t see it as a list, but as a lifestyle.

31 ways to simplify your life.

Are you looking to live more simply this year? Simplifying is something I am passionate about and find myself working towards for our own family, each and every day. The choices I make, the things I choose to do, the items I choose to buy, I try to hold up to the idea of simplifying.

I hold my faith as a high priority and with that, I believe that everything I own is not my own, but is a gift from God. So, if I have more stuff or live my life in a way that I can’t manage my schedule, I feel I am not being a good steward over what God has given me.

Hence why I created this list. This is a list of 31 ways that I have simplified my life and I encourage you to give some of them a try.

Are you looking to live more simply this year? What areas of your life do you desire to live more simply in?

How To Build A Capsule Wardrobe

Are you looking to revamp your wardrobe? To make use of every piece of clothing you own? To have less, but be happy with the “more” that you can get out of your clothes? Those were the very questions that I was looking to answer when I decided to create a capsule wardrobe. Building a…

Savoring Every Blessing

Psalm 34:8 – Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! When I think of savoring every blessing, I think of this verse from Psalms. I can’t help but think about what it takes to SAVOR the goodness of the Lord. To SAVOR every blessing. To SAVOR His love. It takes… Slowing Down. Do…

Stepping Away From Perfection

Have you ever felt that you can’t escape the trap you have put yourself in? The trap that our culture has us in? The trap that the Enemy has us in? I recently read a book called The Turquoise Table, which was gifted to me by a dear, dear friend. She knew the timing of…

Take Advantage of FREE – The Library

Have you ever considered what it would save you, if you used your local library? Maybe you aren’t much of a reader, but do you read magazines? I think in this “want it now, want it new” culture, we can easily forget about the resources that are FREE, sitting unused, while we pay for a…
