*sigh*
I have been really trying to live more simply lately. Well, more than lately...for the past few years. I love being more "simple." I like wanting less... I pay attention to things now. Especially when grocery shopping. I think that was the hardest behavior to change. I would go into the grocery store hungry and buy so much junk (seriously...don't go to the store hungry!). I have really simplified my food buying too. In the past, my fridge was over flowing...but so much went to waste. I felt like I needed a full fridge. But there is a difference between a full fridge and fridge full of the "right things." I don't buy gallons of milk anymore, or bulk items. I buy just enough... Think about how much you go to the store...how much do you really eat? I feel like we are engrained into scarcity thinking when it comes to food...always have more! I hate food waste...I really do.
OK...enough of that...
Anyway, this morning I was going through my stuff...and I just keep scaling down. Maybe it's a coming of age thing...the older I get, the less I want. It's not always easy to be simple, but it really is gratifying and very fulfilling. Very very fulfilling.
Less is more...and less is lighter!
I even created a new Pin board to keep me on track. I love looking my foods in fridge. They just calm me down. Yes...that's another thing about simple living, it's less stressful. No mind clutter, no physical clutter... Mmmm Hmmm...I like that. A lot. And I even feel like I have more time in my day. Weird...I know. But I like the side effect.
I hope you are having a simply beautiful day...
