Minimalism for Happiness & Balance: Less Stuff, More Joy

In order to reach your balanced lifestyle you need to unclutter your life to be able to focus on what really matters to you.

LESS IS MORE. Having less stuff, less obligations, less mental clutter, less distractions will allow you to have more joy, more control over your life, more time for meaningful things, more time to spend with your loved ones and to pursue what empowers and motivates you, whatever that is!

Minimalism explores different ways of living meaningful lives. There is not a recipe to follow to be a minimalist. You may find good ideas and inspiration through other’s minimalist lives to help you find yours.

Here are several definitions from “minimalism” experts and thought leaders in the USA:

“It’s a tool to rid yourself of life’s excess in favor of focusing on what’s important—so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom” Theminimalists.com

“It’s a way to escape the excesses of the world around us — the excesses of consumerism, material possessions, clutter, having too much to do, too much debt, too many distractions, too much noise. But too little meaning. Minimalism is a way of eschewing the non-essential in order to focus on what’s truly important, what gives our lives meaning, what gives us joy and value” Mnmlist.com

“What Minimalism is really all about is reassessment of your priorities so that you can strip away the excess stuff – the possessions and ideas and relationships and activities – that don’t bring value to your life” Exilelifestyle.com

Over the years we have worked one-on-one in homes with people just like you who were looking for an alternative way to live. Each person and home was different. We helped them go through their belongings to discover that they:

• held onto things they no longer needed
• never gave themselves permission and time to properly sort, organize, and create homes for their belongings
• felt guilty letting things go and not wanting them to be in the landfill, but not knowing where to donate
• lacked skills to privately sell or auction things they didn’t need but held a lot of value
• fell behind and the years passed before they realized how deep they got into clutter
• health or injury prevented them from doing work they used to be capable of
• had never been exposed to ideas like minimalism, decluttering, and home organizing
• were grieving the loss of a loved one, job, or relationship change
• felt ashamed that they could not do the work alone
