I grew up with parents who were financially irresponsible. A lot of times we had to wait for things like shoes and jackets etc. It’s created an unhealthy relationship with things for me in the past. I over compensate for my kids and their needs so they don’t ever feel like they’re lacking. We’ve had to scale back and as I teach them, I teach myself as well, all our needs are met. We only buy things we need. It’s ok to acknowledge we’ve been irresponsible and bought too much. In the future we will do better. Clutter causes me so much stress, yet I’m usually the only who introduces the new items to our home. Life is complicated but I’m thankful for videos like this that remind me why I’m choosing simple, slow living.

I am a 61-year-old woman that loves decorating. I have my entire adult life. So consequently I have duplicates, triplicates and quadruples of many of the same thing just slightly different. After watching your channel I decided that I would take the extras of my front porch decorations, some I’ve had for 30 years, and decorate some of the neighbors front porches! I’m not sure who is more excited myself or my neighbors. It is so awesome to look out my front window and see my old beloved decorations being utilized by my neighbors. I feel truly blessed having so many extras and being able to share them. Thank you for teaching us the simple and true meaning of life.

I just found you. I’m a nearly 66 year old lady in Australia. It’s so lovely to listen to a young mother who wants and is living simple. I look forward to following your vlogs.

1. Get to know myself!
What do I like? What ticks me off? What makes me feel really happy? What makes me smile? What makes me calm down? What do I enjoy doing?

5. Get rid of any clothes that don't fit me. Removes the pressure of feeling that the present me needs to do better.

I am loving decluttering my house and cleaning out. I have not missed ONE THING we have sold or donated. I am so appreciative to Dawn from The Minimal Mom for sparking this in me. I love the phone idea. I should start putting mine on silent when I am home. I need to go in and delete contacts. I am working on getting the photos off the phone too.

Great video! Like sitting with a best friend 💚
Loving the blouse! Beautiful!

Margaret, I feel like each of these tips needed a video of their own! Honestly, sooo many good points!

Your channel is my FAVORITE! It exudes such calm and peace and intentionality, especially because you always point life back to how it’s all about living wholeheartedly for Jesus! In Him we live and move and have our being—He’s why we are forever grateful and forever content in Him. Bless you, Sis in Christ. 😊💗🙏

I love the notion of writing down needs and wants. We as a society have become so absorbed with instant gratification, and delaying those needs is such a great idea! It helps in so many ways, with budgets, entitlement, helping give ideas for people for gift giving... I am going to work on that for the rest of this season. Thank you

[audramichie]

Love your video as usual! I’ve been working towards (not very successfully) the phone things you brought up. It’s been a quick fix crutch for stress that I know isn’t the best for me. Thanks for the encouragement! ❤

[brandyclark]

I have used the list system for a long time. I also have lists for my husband and rest of my family so that I can gift intentionally as well. I find too that sometimes when I review my want list that things I have listed I no longer want to have. I am working at developing a better schedule to fit in things that are healthier for me such as journaling, bible, tea time and stretching/yoga and a 30 minute walk. I need those things for myself but I am struggling to get them to fit into my day. It’s hit and miss more than I like😕so happy to see your video today and just as excited for the next one. Thank you!

My morning routine for years no matter how busy, brush your teeth, eat your breakfast, has helped me so much.

[boomshine]

I'm paraphrasing but I loved when you said you'd rather live in gratitude than live in a state of want. So powerful.

[michellesparling]

Trying to transform from a super consumer to more of a minimalist. I'm taking baby steps; it's going to take me awhile. Compared to other decluttering videos, I find your voice calming. Watching some of them can hype me up, but your voice is calming. Great Job!

[rockyduck]

I'm working on simplifying by not only editing out apps on my phone but also unsubscribing to old YT channels, people, and groups that no longer serve me well. To get to know myself I am turning off the tv and radio and setting my phone down.

Preach!! Great advice and encouragement
