I quit hair dye! I decided it was time to stop wasting money and embrace my silver hair at age 58. What freedom!!

[andreadanburg]

One thing I would suggest, especially for those of us who prepare most of our own meals: I like to play classical music softly while cooking and eating. It sets the mood and makes the meal feel fancy even if it’s just omelettes and smoothies 🤗

Great video! I quit going to the hairdresser five years ago. I cut my hair myself. I save money and never get disappointed 😀 I quit wearing heels. I feel so comfortable 👍 I quit worrying for the future. I really enjoy the presence of ”now”. I quit buying clothes made of polyester. I love my cotton, linnen and silk. My body can breath and they last so much longer. ❤️

It’s just so refreshing to see someone speak up against consumerism, especially in this space. Loved your tips, Margaret! x

I personally make a list of things I need and/or want before I get the money to purchase it. I've been doing that for years and it trained me to just buy what's on my list and when it's not on the list I don't even think about it. It definitely makes life simpler 😊

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 196 subs and almost 82 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

I am 58 years old, and I just learned many of these things embracing minimalism 6 years ago. I was raised in a different time, and time changes things. Technology has replaced many items we had to buy for use, but so many people walk around as mental hoarders because of information overload. Something I too have to keep ‘in check’. You have done well.
Had I embraced simplification of my life many years ago, I can hardly imagine what my life might look like today.
Be Simple, Live Simple ❤

I can really relate to the idea of expecting too much from oneself and others... and then getting overwhelmed and getting done nothing at all . Trying to quit the "all or nothing" mentality and keep expectations realistic. Thanks for the video, first one to inspire me in a while x

[rebekah]

This the one of the best videos I've listened to in a long time. Very empowering and encouraging! I want to take many of the tips to heart and start putting them into practice. Thank you so much dear Margaret! May you be richly blessed in return for blessing others!

[lizpetruzzi]

For me, part of intentional living isn’t just letting things go but adding things like gardening that might not be simple but bring me joy. I’m just careful to not add too much - when there’s too much “noise” and superficial stuff, It dilutes the things that bring the most love, joy and value. Great video and would absolutely LOVE an example of a simplified/minimal iPhone! Thank you for valuable, authentic content!❤️

I really appreciate this list!
Some of the points that stand out for me are walking slower (personally, I like to take pics of little things along the way, that really helps with slowing down), not stressing about other people's opinion about us, not stressing about healthy food too much/ allowing ourselves treats as well... I think I have to go through the video again, there are so many good suggestions!
I like that you are truly choosing for yourself what matters to you and don't let others/ social media trends etc. dictate your goals or pace of life. Great example for us all! ❤

[samantha_budhu]

Great list! Love simplifying my life. There is always more to let go of. 💜

[gracefurey]

Margaret! I light up when I see a notification from you on my phone. You have spoken life into mine in a way that few can. You have helped me see that there is another way. Thank you for being here

[Calliemcdonald]

Your Channel makes me feel like I can breathe again. I am working on slowing down and simplifying my life and your channel is such a fresh breath of air

[louisetilbury]

I took notes! They all make complete sense but until you REALLY look at the points, you cant see the impact it has everyday. Thank you. Great video. You look like you’re blooming now. ❤

[emd]

Good for you! I’m 51 & do a lot of these things, my daughter is 27, she needs to hear this.

[paige]

I have learned so much from you that has changed my life for the better. Thank you so much for being incredibly intentional ❤

[Livingthefreelife]

You’re 3 years younger than me and you inspire me much 🥰 I love your videos, you’re so REAL and I struggle to understand how anyone could not adore you ❤

[lisalanier]

This was such a great video and great wisdom! The whole phone in the morning thing- I agree 100 on that! My days are SO much better without starting with opening my phone. Also just staying off the phone for most of the day!

[irishcladdagh]

😂😂😂 the jumbo pens....I struggled with many on your list and I was so deeply engaged in this video and the jumbo pens just broke me in laughter and I didnt even realized I had been holding my breath listening to your list....Thanks for bringing fun and relaxation to this community 💜
