Embracing Essentialism
Sometimes the many pressures and challenges in our lives are expressed outwardly. It can be as simple as an abundance of collections, of physical items, collected over a period of time, or it can be an abundance of “lack” that we may feel in our lives.. Essentialism doesn’t mean giving up everything and living on a little. It means really looking at what cultivates YOUR joy and making space to truly appreciate the more material tools and keepsakes of your life!
How does Essentialism Cultivate Joy In My Life?
Focusing on what emotionally and physically supports us in terms our surroundings can be an incredible way to cultivate Joy. This can truly help us de-clutter not only our surroundings, thus appreciating what we LOVE MOST, or essentializing our minds so as to create more energy and time for the things that mean the most to us.
Steps to Cultivate Essentialism
What are the things you just can’t live without? That’s right…… What are they? A good place to start is imagining (God forbid) all of your personal, household, business or cherished “sneeds” were in jeopardy of being destroyed by a fire, hurricane, any natural disaster. What would be the most important items you would want to keep safe??? Explore this a little deeper with your everyday items that are not just pictures of your family, but also other things that you just can’t replace. Also, why might they be important to you? Do they still serve you the way you used to? Do they serve you NOW? The forthcoming exercise will help you narrow down what truly fills your heart and helps in supporting your time and efforts (including joy) for the days of your life. Stay tuned!
