Also, all other aspects of simplifying you mention are so important. I would love to have you onboard our simplification because together we can make it way more fun!Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-63369106276440688432013-01-05T12:16:44.419+01:002013-01-05T12:16:44.419+01:00Hey there - thank you for doing this! I have been ...Hey there - thank you for doing this! I have been simplifying on my own for more than a year now, but having a community sounds just so much better! Being a mom of 3, a resident i Psychiatry, a "creative soul" and wanting a "green" life stye I struggle with honoring the rhythm of my life and finding a balance between the "have to's" and the "want to's" I believe that there are health and happiness to be found if we do focus on these. I think that stress occurs when we push plans through even though the family is in a slower rhythm wether its because of the season or any other reason. <br />Also as an occupational interest I am passionate about the concept of "food for thought" - What we eat or do not eat also has great impact on our minds in addition to our bodies - I don't know if that knowledge simplifies my life , but I do know that it helps the mental as well as the physical well being of my family! <br />Happy new year to you and everybody who seems so engaged here! I am of to figure out how to get the pledge badge onto my site!<br />Best regards<br />http://recyclingmama.squarespace.com/home/2013/1/2/thrift.htmlKrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621393870608084648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-5754154294160664672013-01-04T22:45:02.323+01:002013-01-04T22:45:02.323+01:00Oh, thank you for such a great idea.

I love the idea of a simple life and I think it's about focus, prioritizing, eliminating things that waste time and energy, cleaning out clutter, and honing in on what you're meant to do in this life and who you're meant to do it with. xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263044857099967566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-86204839903798054752013-01-04T16:33:53.349+01:002013-01-04T16:33:53.349+01:00I love that we're starting the year with such ...I love that we're starting the year with such a challenge! <br /><br />Getting out of our comfort zone during the first month, means that we'll be expanding the playground in which to play during the rest of the year.

As for next month, here's something I've been struggling with, which I'd love to have your ideas on: As with the picture you posted above, finding the balance between simplicity and boredom/emptiness. I'm in a transition phase and looking at future 'careers' and questioning the kind of lifestyle that will work for me, and I'm discovering that I have about 4 areas of interest I'd like to pursue, but no clue which one to pick (I'd like to pick them all and spread it out over the week, but it doesn't really bode well for simplicity!) - so I'd love you to talk a bit about making choices, weighing options, and DOING!
