7 Reasons to Simplify Your Life
ByI just finished a series of reasons to simplify your life. Often people have vague ideas that simplifying their life will make them less stressed and happier. But, without specifics “simplifying” never reaches high on the priority list.
Reason #1: Sharing yourself and your gifts with the world
Reason #2: You are in too much debt
Reason #3: You have become overwhelmed
Reason #4: You are missing out on your relationships
Reason #5: Your things are crowding you out of your own life
Reason #6: Your health is being neglected
Reason #7: So you can have fun!
I don’t believe in creating a simpler life so we can sit there and do nothing (unless that is fun and purposeful for you.) I believe in creating a simpler life so we can do something – something fun, something meaningful, something with people, something alive.
What are your reasons for wanting to create a saner, simpler life?

“I don’t believe in creating a simpler life so we can sit there and do nothing… I believe in creating a simpler life so we can do something – something fun, something meaningful, something with people, something alive.”
By creating a simpler life we can spend more time doing the things we love.
I need a simpler life because I’m going through a period of depression and anxiety. I’m also trying to clean out my storage shed because I can’t afford to pay the high price for it anymore. So for my emotional health I need to simplify my life and reorganize and declutter my home.
Hi Barbara,
I am so sorry you are going through this. Remember a little at a time.
