With inflation rates rising every other week, it’s become impossible to live peacefully in America. Now, everywhere else is more affordable compared to life in the US. That’s why the chase towards a simple and hassle-free life has become all the more real. Everywhere you see, brands promoting a luxury that’s simply out of reach. Consumerism has led to a life of corporate slavery and misery.
This is where people have started moving towards a simpler living lifestyle. With complex reflection making life all the more difficult, it’s easier to live simply and harmoniously. It comes with many benefits including less stressful living and financial constraints.
You’ll have more time to go after goals that matter and leave behind things that have no certain meaning. In this article, we’ll be including all the best ways you can transition from a life of luxury to a life of simplicity.
The mindset shift comes at a time when maturity prevails and we start prioritizing quality over quantity. This can be applicable to any aspect of our lives. Be it friendships, where long-lasting friendships are usually very few and special while a huge social circle can be quite draining. It is emotionally rewarding to have relationships like these in our lives as they help us envision a life of quality over quantity.
Another example could be financial constraints where people are struggling to maintain their luxurious lives. Living with a single paycheck has become nearly impossible due to the lifestyle we’ve adapted ourselves to. However, if we apply the ‘quantity over quality’ philosophy here, we’ll find that many people are living their lives comfortably with a single income. It is due to the prioritization of finances and planning. Plan out your expenses smartly and invest in long-lasting materials that don’t often need replacement.
The mindset shift doesn’t come overnight. Your perspective changes gradually over time with habits, routines, and the thinking you possess regarding the lifestyle you want to live.
Next, if you’re striving towards a simpler lifestyle choice, begin by decluttering your home. Here are a few tips that will help you accomplish that:
Step 1: Start organizing and decluttering your space by first choosing what you want to declutter. People usually have dressing tables, cupboards, wardrobes, and more to organize and declutter. Before you get on with the task, make sure to take a picture of the mess. Once you’re done with the task, you can look at the before and after shots to gain that hard-earned satisfaction from organizing!
Step 2: Plan out the whole day accordingly. If you’ve dedicate a whole day to this task, you need a plan. It will entail every spot you want to cover and the breaks and intervals you’ll need to complete the task within the day. Add some much-needed snack breaks to it as well to make it more fun.
Step 3: Divide all the items into 3 piles. These piles will be labeled as keep, discard, and donate/sell. This will make the process much easier and more efficient.
Step 4: Decide what you’d want to pass on to your loved ones. Sometimes we have a habit of hoarding things or keeping ones that have an important meaning. It’s important to part ways with them as it helps us focus on the next chapter of our lives. It is the start of a simpler and much more meaningful life ahead. So, pass on your favorite necklace and jeans to your sisters, it’s time for a new beginning!
Decluttering helps significantly in improving mental health as it makes sure that we are in control of our lives. It improves productivity, inspiring us to do more.
Sometimes a busy schedule can lead to a poor work-life balance. We are unable to prioritize ourselves and the life we want to pursue. Set some much-needed goals and learn to say no to things that don’t contribute towards those goals. Keep a wide-open schedule in which you can add fun activities to engage in and have plans without canceling them.
Work can often make life stressful so it is important to engage in fun activities, family time, and self-care. All of these help in destressing and chilling. Organizing a day like this will help you achieve a productive and happy life ahead.
In order to establish a life of simplicity, it is important to have financial clarity. This means having a clear financial plan where you prioritize quality over quantity. Have a minimal budget and create a system for tracking your finances. This will contribute towards your simple financial planning. At times you might even have to cut subscriptions and other expenses. Always spend money on things that offer quality even if they’re expensive. It will remove the hassle of repairing them every other day and the element of ‘cheapness’.
Cutting unnecessary spending and charges can save your family from many financial constraints due to the amount of money you can save. When you save money, you can put it towards larger bills, retirement, or anything else that makes you happy. Many people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gym memberships and other streaming services that bleed your back out dry. Cutting down those will be another smart move.
Educate yourself on debt reduction and other saving strategies. These will have a profound effect on your bank account. You will have the freedom and security of managing your finances.
In a world that promotes a life of luxury and prestige, chase after simplicity for peace and calm. There’s no better feeling than coming to a cozy home where you have everything you need without bleeding your bank account. It is all about finding what works best for you and enhancing your chances for a better future and life ahead!
You can find fame and luxury anywhere, but peace is hard-earned.
God bless
