Blessed with Less
I downsized myself a little over a year ago and I have to honestly say, I don't think I miss any "thing."
Every day in my profession, I help people to "Let Go." To let go of physical things and sometimes psychic debris as well. I encourage people to toss, donate or sell the non-essentials and treasure the keepers.
So I thought for this ezine, I would give you my very biased opinion on why it is so wonderful to live life with less stuff. Ready?
- Freedom - When I am free of things to be responsible for, I have more time for myself. Having less stuff to care for and care about, gives me more time for me.
- Less Brain Fatigue - When I own less, I don't have to think so much about what I have and how to deal with it.
- Safety - I never worry about tripping over items or whether my home is going to catch on fire due to clutter.
- Easy to Clean - Having fewer items on counter surfaces, floors and walls make it a breeze to scrub a dub dub.
- Clearer Vision, Less Confusion - Seeing less stuff in my space gives me clarity to truly see what I own and helps me focus without distraction.
- More Money - When I know what I own, I don't spend on purchasing accidental duplicates and I also save money by living in a smaller space with smaller utility bills and real estate taxes too.
- Gratitude - When I don't have many things, I'm grateful for what I do have.
