These clutter stats prove just how crazy Americans are about spending and accumulating stuff. The thing is, kids need minimalism as much as adults do.

Rachel aka The Minimalist Mom advocates a rich life with less stuff. Her journey into the joys of living with less kicked off in the fall of She embarked on a decluttering spree to find a little peace and space, selling as much as she could to tame the mountain of debt she and her husband had racked up over the years.

The Difference Between Simplicity and Minimalism - Be More with Less

Fast-forward to , Rachel has added a few more kids to the equation, moved houses a couple of times and finally taken that leap of faith and left the city for a slower life in the country. Start by reading from her website: After being diagnosed with severe post natal depression in , Brooke embarked on a one-woman mission to cut out the excess in her life and reconnect with what was really important.

She learnt about minimalism and simplicity, immersed herself in the Slow Living philosophy and discovered the benefits of living with less. Over the course of two years Brooke has decluttered more than 25, items, created a Slow Home and rediscovered her health.

She also hosts The Slow Home Podcast to help spread the idea of a slower pace of life to an even wider audience. She lives in Australia with her husband and two kids. In she and her husband moved from Hawaii to Florida with their two children. She says we all want to feel connected and live a meaningful life. Minimalists are just like you with less stuff, but when we remove the label and focus on the action, like living with less , the idea becomes accessible and intriguing instead of scary and intimidating. When I started this journey of simplifying or editing my life, I thought the result would be an organized drawer.

I grew up looking for bigger and better and now I look forward to smaller and more meaningful. Call it what you want, simplicity, minimalism, life-edited, and then put it into action. Reading work from other people living with less continually inspires my journey. I hope more people actually try and practice minimalism. I know many probably think it is only a quaint idea that sounds charming. It is so much more. You learn to value life, love, and all of the experiences that come with them.

You have to give yourself room to move if you want to experience life more fully. I guess I sorta missed the memo about counting your belongings. I wonder if the movement has changed, or if that was just the part of it that spoke to me personally. For others it may mean spending money on experiences or giving to charity instead of spending it on material possessions. I have to agree, when I started to downsize it was because I was tired of taking care of all the stuff I had accumulated while raising a family.

As the house emptied I realized I needed so much less, and by needing less I could focus my time less on a job and more on what I wanted to do.

Simple living

I only work a couple hours a day, if that, on my own schedule, and the rest of the time I get to do whatever I want. So as I delved further into the idea of simple living I assumed everyone who was seeking simplicity was also doing it with the intent to free up their life from working so much to earn the money to buy the stuff. Yep, I agree that it is all about the action. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the differences between minimalism and simplicity in two mediums now.

It was fun having you on the Smart and Simple Matters show and, although the power of your words resonates in both text and talk, I have a personal preference for the spoken word.
