Simplifying My Life: A Year of Self-Care

As I reflect on the past year, I realize that I pushed myself to the limit, sacrificing my well-being for the sake of “success.” This year, I’m committed to making amends with my body and prioritizing self-care. I want to break free from the exhaustion and stress that came with trying to prove myself to others.

Rethinking Minimalism

Minimalism isn’t just about decluttering and cleaning; it’s about simplifying our lives and reducing unnecessary stress. I’m taking a step back from projecting an image of perfection and embracing a more peaceful, un-instagrammable life.

4 Simple Ways to Simplify Your Life

To make life easier, I’ve adopted a few simple habits that require little to no effort.

Stay on Top of Important Tasks

Sign up for text alerts from your credit card company or bank to remind you of upcoming payments. This way, you can ensure you have enough money in your account and avoid overdraft fees.

Half-Meal Prep: A Game-Changer

Meal prep can be a lifesaver, especially for busy individuals living alone. To avoid the monotony of reheated meals, I’ve adopted a half-meal-prep approach. I cook a large batch of protein at the beginning of the week and prepare fresh vegetables each night. This way, I can enjoy healthy, stress-free meals without sacrificing flavor.

Add Deadlines to Your To-Do List

Write dates and times next to each task on your to-do list to make them more manageable. This simple trick has helped me stay on track and accomplish tasks more efficiently.

Delegate Tasks and Unclench

Don’t be afraid to ask for help or delegate tasks to others. Whether it’s folding laundry or running errands, accepting help can be a huge stress-reliever. Remember, you don’t have to do everything yourself.
