My name is Michelle and I’m into simplify lives and achieving financial independence to live the stress-free life nature intended.
Simple, systemized living and financial independence principles can be applied whether you’re rich or poor, live in a city, or by the sea. A lifestyle of freedom and ease can be achieved by EVERYONE!
My Story
Several years ago, I worked in the financial services industry and found myself completely stressed out. Then, life decided to throw me some curveballs and caused my health to take a turn for the worse. I was sad and depressed and definitely overworked.
It was then that I decided to eliminate the unessential things that demanded energy and focus. I was tired of STUFF and reached a point where my life and my health were more valuable than having a television in every room and an overflowing wardrobe.
I’ve learned many lessons about simplifying and creating systems and, today, I want to share my journey. Life still throws me curveballs (as life does, right?). But, reducing the unnecessary and systemizing helps me keep my stride and power through gracefully like a champ!
I’m not a minimalist. I just want less.
I give much respect to the minimalist living pioneers that have inspired me like The Minimalists and Fumio Sasaki. They’ve opened my eyes to the financial and emotional effects of overconsumption and I’ll continue to put their ideas into practice. However, strict minimalism can sometimes feel unattainable. I mean…I love to look at the beautiful artwork lining my walls, and the antique books that line my shelves feel cozy to me.
So….I don’t want austere. I just want LESS.
The Time to Act is NOW!
You might be in mid-life caring for elderly parents, a young adult caring for a sick child, or still fighting the corporate fight and feeling like SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE!
Some things you can’t change, but take the first step towards the things you CAN change. Eliminate non-essentials that occupy your space, zap your mental energy, and rob your wallet. Use simplicity and systems as your tools to help you save your money and refocus your energy on things that really matter to you.
More control. More time. Les stress. Better health…and a BIGGER WALLET!
Love & hugs!
