Hello World! Welcome Friends! Living a more simple life in a more simple home is an idea that is sure to appeal to many different people. No matter what your age, your background, your goals in life, a simplified home is going to help you in very many ways, and give you a new perspective on other aspects of your life too.
If you’re ready to get rid of the clutter and tidy the ‘things’ that have been taking up too much space and energy in your home, then read on because there are some of the biggest benefits you’ll find once you do it.
You’ll Feel Happier In Your Home
There is nothing quite as wonderful as being able to feel completely happy and utterly content in the place you call home. Once you simplify the space you’re living in, this is the feeling you will get.
Not only will you be giving yourself more space, which is always going to make you feel more comfortable and therefore happier, but you will also start to feel more grateful for what you have. If you had been on the verge of moving, for example, because you thought you needed more space, a decent spot of decluttering could show you that you do have the space when you don’t have so much stuff, for example.
Easier To Clean
No one wants to live in a dirty house, but when you have a lot of things around you, it can be hard to keep your home as clean as you would want – and need – it to be. Once you declutter and simplify things, you’ll be able to clean much more easily. You’ll be able to reach places you couldn’t before, and you’ll spend less time doing it because there is less there to dust and wipe down.
Being able to carry out your household tasks from hardwood floor cleaning to dusting your bookshelves without anything getting in your way means that your home can look wonderful and be a much healthier place to live too.
As an added benefit, when you don’t have to spend so much time cleaning, you can spend more time with your family and friends, and your relationships might even grow stronger because of it. And this will all have been down to having the idea of simplifying your life and carrying through with your plans.
Less Anxiety
When you live in a cluttered, busy environment, studies have shown that you are apt to be much more stressed and anxious compared to those who live in a simplified home with less ‘stuff’ around them.
There are various reasons for this. One of the reasons is that having a lot of things around you can over-stimulate the brain which makes it difficult to wind down and relax on a subconscious level. On a conscious level, all the things around you will constantly be reminding you that there are jobs you need to be getting on with, and that can cause stress and anxiety too, especially if you’re already busy and don’t have a lot of spare time to deal with anything else.
When you remove everything that you don’t need from your home, you will find you can relax more and your anxiety levels will reduce. This is good for your mental and physical health and can lead you to be more productive and organized too.
More Money
When you declutter your home, you can make some money while you’re simplifying things. You can sell items that you no longer have a need for and that are just taking up space, and make some money either by selling them online or having a garage sale.
However, the biggest way that simplifying your life can make you more money is through the money you’ll save over time. When you declutter your home, you are making a choice; you’re making a choice that you are going to own less. When you do this, and when you see how great your home looks with less stuff in it, you’ll be much less likely to purchase anything you don’t need. This will save you a lot of money, and it will keep your home looking as good as possible well into the future.
More Opportunities For Fun
You might not realize it, but you’re currently spending a lot of time just dealing with the things that are in your home. Just keeping everything in check and in order, let alone cleaning everything, is time-consuming, and if you’ve ever said no to a chance to go out and have some fun because you’re worried that you’ll fall behind on your ability to keep your house in order, you’ll understand how this can be problematic.
If you want to enjoy those opportunities for fun more often, especially those that are rather spontaneous, having less to do around the house and less to worry about within the house has got to be a priority.
Furthermore, when your home is looking wonderful and you’re comfortable in it – and proud of how you’ve made it a much more simple place to live – you can invite friends and family around more often. You can host dinner parties or casual get-togethers, and you can be the spontaneous one knowing that you won’t have to rush around tidying up and moving things out of the way to make space for everyone.
Value Experiences Over Possessions
When you declutter your home and you simplify everything within it, you’ll start to value experiences over things. Your entire mindset will shift to accommodate this new way of thinking. You’ll be much more interested in all the things you can do, and not so much about what you can buy to fill your home up with.
When you focus more on experiences, you’ll have a lot more fun and you’ll make some incredible memories that are much more enjoyable and good for you than any possessions ever could. In fact, it’s likely that you’ll seek out new experiences rather than wait for them to come to you because you’ll have the time, energy, and money to enjoy them.
