Seeking Motivation
Read New Perspectives. See Inspiring Spaces.
As we near the end of this 30-day challenge, you might have tried a number of things and made some progress in simplifying your life. But it is quite possible that there have been days when your enthusiasm has been somewhat lacking. This is to be expected when making big lifestyle changes and is a pattern that will typically repeat many times over until a new habit or routine is well established. Sometimes it can be helpful to seek out a new perspective from someone who has made the same choices or taken a similar journey. You might find some insight from these people sharing some of their minimalism experience.

Rachelle Crawford, Messy Minimalism
You know how you’ll hear a story about someone you know who is doing something new or different and you think to yourself, “Oh yeah, that makes total sense. She seems like the type of person that would…”
Well, that wasn’t the case for me and minimalism. Nobody in my life, including myself, saw my transition into minimalism coming. While I can certainly look back now and spot the arrows pointing me this way, I had no clue I was headed toward minimalism at the time.
