If you are looking for reasons to live with less then I will give you 10 reasons to do just that. However, everyone may have some specific goals for living with less and so it goes a little deeper for each and every one of us.
When decluttering and perusing a simplified lifestyle, we need to make sure we are clear on our WHY. Why we are doing this? What do we hope to achieve? We need to write down our reason for living with less.
Our why or reason is what will help us push through to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s what will make sure that we don’t give up.
Living with less has many benefits but you need to figure out your reasons and benefits as we all have different ideas of how simple living is for us. For some it is to live and connect with nature more, for others it may be to not have so much to do and be able to relax more. Whatever your reason is to live a simpler lifestyle it’s what will help you stay on your declutter journey.
So, be very clear from the beginning on what it is you want. It is ok to change your wants along the way as so many of us do and this is just part of our nature. We evolve and our wants evolve with us.
Here are my 10 reasons to live with less which will help you keep going too…
- Less time spent on cleaning and maintaining the house.
- Stress is less since you have less to manage.
- Health improves as we have more time to take care of ourselves and our families.
