So time is flying and I’m already onto day 10 of the 30 day minimalism game. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about then check out this post. Not only have I already let go of 55 items but I’m experiencing some ‘side-effects’…
I’m noticing that I want to bring less into my life.
I’m taking this as a positive sign, because if I simply decluttered without changing my mindset, then a few months down the line I’d have amassed more stuff and I’d be back where I started.
As hinted at in my previous posts, I’m planning on running an experiment this year. 2020 saw me bring lots of new activities into my life and this year I want to focus on making space for the things that matter. So I’m planning on a year of letting go.
It’s an idea I’ve been playing around with since writing Subtract and Thrive, but I wanted to get clear on the purpose before making a commitment because I don’t want this to become just another thing I need to do…
As we went into 2020, I don’t think any of us imagined what the year would bring. There are no words capable of expressing the bag of surprises that 2020 dumped on our doorstep. But as I say goodbye to the year, I want to reflect on some of the positives.
For many of us Christmas 2020 is going to be unlike any other – and I’m not going to even try and put it into words. But I wanted to stop by and wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas.
When I started to post regularly to this blog, I wasn’t sure whether anyone would read it or find it useful. But you clearly do and I’m grateful for the time you take to read my posts.
I really hope you’ve found something here to help you on your own journey or give you a gentle nudge along your path.
My money mindset has changed massively over the last decade. I’ve gone from worrying about whether I could afford to keep my house to being mortgage free and on the path to financial freedom.
The journey has taken me through a kaliedoscope of budgeting methods, money making endeavours and gastronomic experiments.
