S I M P L E living is a lifelong journey of learning to return to more traditional ways of going about your days.. It is not just about living with less; it embodies so much more than that.. Living a simple life challenges you to examine what truly matters.. Throughout my journey to live a simpler life, I have realised that life is so much more vibrant and full when I remove the clutter and hurry and seek simplicity instead..
Before modern conveniences, what did people do?? They lived off of the land.. They relied on God to provide for them.. Their hearts and homes were aligned with the seasons.. They ate homegrown, local food.. They made their own clothes and cleaning products and personal care items.. They lived in community and helped one another. .
Though I am very grateful for the advances that our society had made in technology, medicine, and science, I do feel a deep longing for the simpler days of the past.. In those times, simple living is something that everyone abided by.. However, in our day and age, we must make a conscious choice to pursue a simpler way of life..
You don’t have to live on a farm or in the middle of the woods to pursue a simple life.. You don’t have to love baking bread or doing your laundry.. Simple living is for everyone, no matter if you are a teen, a college student, a young adult, or an elder..
During this pandemic period, most of us have stuck to a basic life with simple choices..
How are you intentionally choosing to live a simpler life??
