Ep 127: Why Minimalism is an Essential Practice for Busy Parents
We live in a fast-paced, stuff-driven society. Even if you're not a minimalist, it's impossible to miss.
The truth is though that it's easy to get caught up in keeping up with everyone around us, buy into the marketing messages, let life get away from us and forget what's truly important.
When we get overwhelmed by it all minimalism can be a lifesaver - especially for busy parents.
By decluttering your life and your home, you can not only let go of the stuff, but you'll let go of the stress and overwhelm too. You can stop just going through the motions, find more passion in life, and have more time for the things that matter most to you.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Minimalism gives families so many benefits and this week’s podcast episode covers my top 5. I have seen these benefits in my own life and I hear listeners, readers, and clients list these benefits over and over as well.
If decluttering your life and trying out minimalism sounds appealing to you (or if you're even the slightest bit curious), I encourage you to give it a try!
You might just find that it saves your sanity and gives you back control, even as a busy mom.
