The Choice to Simplify

Simplifying was more to me than just reducing clutter. In a world that constantly demands more energy, more time, and more things, I began to feel overwhelmed from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep. There came a point when I simply wanted to drop everything and run, reset my life, and start over from fresh without all the stuff, without all the obligations, and without the constant noise that had filled my life.

While some had accomplished the exit from business and noise, to uproot and build new was an unrealistic expectation to place upon my family, which left me at a crossroads where I had to choose: continue living in a state of constant stress, or make the choice to change the direction of my life towards simplicity.

Think about it. Every decision, every piece of clutter, carries weight and requires energy that in today's culture is a valued commodity. Those extra pairs of clothes you never wear. The endless accounts that flood your email and notifications. Even the endless mental lists running in the background of your mind. It all takes up space, not just in your closet or your desk, but in your head. No wonder focus feels so slippery.

What is simplifying

Simplifying is more than just reorganizing or clearing off your shelves and storing the excess. It’s a way to reclaim your energy intentionally. When you remove what you don’t need, you create space for what truly matters, such as creativity, calmness, or simply being able to breathe without feeling rushed. Picture the relief of days filled with the ability to relax, rather than constantly rearranging, cleaning, and sorting through the clutter.

Of course, choosing simplicity isn’t always easy. We’re taught that success means having more achievements, more connections, and more things to show we’re doing well. But deep down, many of us realize that having more often just leaves us feeling more scattered. Simplifying invites us to rethink things and ask: What do I really need? What brings meaning instead of extra weight?
