I am excited to share a great new resource for those of you looking to simplify your lives. Who doesn’t want to Simplify, right?
SIMPLIFY is an e-book written by Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist. I absolutely love SIMPLIFY! It is a SIMPLE, straightforward guide to simplifying your life and brings new light to the term minimalist.
I suppose I thought differently about minimalism in the past. I thought it was something that was unattainable for me as a mom of 3. After all a family of 5 generates a lot of stuff! But the more I thought about it, Minimalist really does describe the lifestyle I am after and have been working on for some time. Joshua shows how it can be done and with real life application since he has a family of 4!
Joshua Becker has laid out 7 principles that will help you simplify your life and declutter your home. I always say “Organizing is not one size fits all!” and Joshua clearly believes that as well as he guides you to simplify in a way that fits your individual style. Here are the 7 principles he shares…
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #1 – Be Convinced. “Before any of us can simplify our homes and lives, we must be convinced that the lifestyle is worth the effort.”
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #2 – Define Minimalism for your Life. “Your particular practice of minimalism is going to look different from anyone else.”
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #3 – Jump Right In! “You won’t declutter your whole house the first day out… you start with a small, manageable job and build your way up.”
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #4 – Stop the Trend of Consumerism. “Chances are if you overspent before decluttering your life, you’ll continue to overspend afterwards.”
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #5 – Persevere. “To help you keep your home clutter-free, here are six helpful hints:”
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #6 – Share Your Story. “Joy is best experienced when it is shared with others.”
GUIDING PRINCIPLE #7 – Simplify Everywhere. “Look around. Simplicity can be applied almost everywhere in life.”
I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to read an advance copy of SIMPLIFY. It is thought provoking and has motivated me to simplify other areas of my life. You can get SIMPLIFY for $9.95 and that is a steal for the motivation it will bring! It is a 78 page easy read with tons of great advice!
For disclosure purpose, I did sign up to be an affiliate of this book because I love it that much! Which means if you buy this book from one of the links on my site I make a few dollars. As always, I would not promote a product that would not significantly help my readers! SIMPLIFY has motivated me and I know it will do the same for you!
What areas of your life are you wanting to simplify?
What does the term “minimalism” mean to you?
Once you read SIMPLIFY I would love it if you came back here and discussed it! Let’s share our thoughts!
