Life is full of all kinds of stages and phases. These days things seem to be more hectic than ever, not just in my own life but in the whole world around me. There is so much beauty all around us too, if only we took time to see it, breathe it, and embrace it. The problem is that most of us are going as fast as we can to get to where we need to be that we aren’t enjoying our journey – and really, the journey is the only thing we have in the end.
Do you spend your weekdays dreading getting up early, going to work, working all day, and then counting down to the weekend the whole week long – basically just wishing your life away? Then on the weekends do you spend your time cleaning, doing laundry, and getting things ready for the work week? I know I do all of these things. It’s all just a big vicious circle with no real living going on in between. What a shame that is.
I’m tired of living at such a hectic pace. Through the years I’ve learned to say no. I’ve learned how having routines can help. I’ve also learned that when I get the proper rest, eat right and workout on a regular basis that it makes me feel like there are more hours in the day because I’m healthier physically, mentally and emotionally. I know it’s time to get back to those things that I already know work to my benefit - yes, I've been slacking in those departments lately.
Beyond that, the main change I know I need to make right now is to minimize. The "stuff" is taking up all my time and and stressing me out beyond belief. I'm so done with it all!
This is where my journey to minimalism begins and you my friends are coming along for the ride.
CHALLENGE: How much can we get rid of this week? Let's be ready to share next Monday either in the comment section or by linking up a post on the sidebar with photos of your progress. It doesn't matter if we get rid of one little bag or a truckload. The goal is just to get started!
Wishing you a Motivated Monday!
