    You should seriously write a book on your journey with simple living and minimalism. This was such a beautiful video

  • @Anitaaa1903
    @Anitaaa1903 2 роки тому +20

    I've been in minimalism for 2 years now and I try to attach as much importance as possible to life, small moments and to be as present as possible in every present moment. Especially since I have a son who is only one year old, and now I can only see the importance of presence, dedication to parenthood, marriage, and life. If I want to be a true supporter in building my child's little life, I realized that first of all I have to be a supporter of myself. And I understood that thanks to your content, experience and example of living. I've been watching you for more than half a year now and I have the need to often revisit your content and remind myself of what I'm striving for, why I now enjoy the simplicity of living so much, the minimalism of life and home. I've gotten rid of things before, and you've encouraged me to reduce them even more. I finally have a wardrobe and clothes that I enjoy, that I love, in which I feel comfortable and beautiful, as the true me. In the kitchen, I finally have only cups that I love, plates that I adore, only essential and everyday tools in the drawers. I choose toys purposefully and practically. I have plants instead of decorations around the house and I finally see the purpose of it. I devoted myself to building my morning routine. Although I've been writing a gratitude journal regularly for a year and a half, I finally built the rest of my morning routine around it. Now it includes getting up early, giving thanks, praying, reading, having breakfast, going out on the balcony and breathing in the freezing air. I practice grounding on the grass with my son, I look at the sun with him, we walk, we hike, we are with nature more than ever. Every evening, I set aside 10 minutes for a quick cleaning so that the morning really starts peacefully. I feel that I can finally see myself, my needs, desires, the meaning of life, upbringing, and I look forward to every new day. I finally strive for simple life in every sense, and I have true love for simplifying life. Thanks for that. I look forward to your content and what I can learn and see. I love seeing your routines and days in your life. I often felt alone in motherhood and couldn't slow down. With your words, simplicity and real life, real motherhood examples, I didn't feel alone. ❤️

      This so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! On my chalkboard in our kitchen, I wrote “slow down, savor, simplify.” It’s been there since our four little ones were ages 3, 2 and newborn twins and I’ve not erased it the past 5 years.l to keep my heart international. I’m still aiming to savor every moment and love all you wrote about choosing to live more intentionally with more life and less clutter-clutter of stuff, time, schedule, etc. ❤

    I needed this video so much..I have felt so overwhelmed today about new years goals because I feel like I already “failed” at them. It’s so refreshing to know that it doesn’t need to be complicated for us to make a big impact in our lives. I definitely want to simplify more this year! Thanks Margaret for sharing your heart in your videos 🤍

    • @michalinarus9497

      I hate New Year's "time" as it's depressing for me. I do not make any New Year's resolutions/goals because I know that eventually I will fail. You know why? Because daily life happens...If you fail at some point, remember that God gives us 'New Year's Day' EVERYDAY. How so?, you will ask. Because every morning, God gives you an opportunity to become better person that you've been the day before. 😊Hey, I just wanted to tell you this: keep your chin up and keep on going! I have so many anxieties that I'm even afraid to set any goals in life. But I like to cheer other people who might need a little extra push 😉Have a fantastic day and go rule the world, girl!

  • @jacquelinemcgowan8164
    @jacquelinemcgowan8164 2 роки тому

    Thank you Margaret such a timely word for me, too much on my plate, thats a confirmation if ever i needed it. 3 times this week alone. I decluttered to the extent i thought i was eliminating my life, so i went the other way especially with clothes and when i was getting a lot of compliments i bought more, loneliness eating more, not being enough buying more. More should only be a temporary thing, but often its like poison ivy, getting everywhere and into everything, more eventually suffocates us, thank you for sharing, all the best for you and your family xxxxxxx.

  • @annedaniel9605

    Thank you. I have been working on simplifying for a year now. It has helped so much. The plans of the beginning of this year faded away as a close family member ended up on hospice for fourteen days at the beginning of this month. As a former hospice nurse, it was my privilege to take care of them and support my husband and kids through it. This week we are trying to find our normal and routine and quiet living again. I am so thankful for simplifying and being present. It helps with anxiety, anger, and puts what is important in the forefront of our minds. The Lord Jesus is so good. And with his help and slowing down... it adds a richness to life. I am thrilled to talk with my 19-year-old and hear what he wants in his life. The things that bring richness and depth. A good book, good whole foods, a walk... so thankful he is learning these things before he is in his forties.
    Thank you, Margaret. Happy 2023!

    Man oh man. You are so right with everything in this video. I really needed to hear this and I would be lying if I said I didn't find myself crying because I feel like this video really spoke to me. I love your videos and I love how it's motivating to just go and get rid of things that you no longer use. It has taken a huge stress off of me and I couldn't be more grateful. We have three boys ages 10, three, and almost two. I want to be more intentional with them and not just stuff laying around everywhere. Spend more the moments together. Thank you so much!
