Welcome to the Joy of Simple Living

It is our vision to make this site an informative and practical resource that will enable you to streamline, simplify and help make life less stressful.

Many of us live on "auto-pilot" not fully aware of why we make the choices we do. Choices that emotionally and physically weigh us down and prevent us from leading the best possible life we deserve. Generally we don't look at the bigger picture, the long term effects of the choices we make. For example, buying a larger house, a new car, the must-have boat and so on. The long term effects of these choices mean we may have to take on an extra job, work longer and harder, therefore leaving us with little time or energy to spend with our family and friends, or even our favourite hobbies.

Simplicity can change our lives in so many ways. Developing "awareness" is the key to living simply, living consciously. This new awareness will help you to make better choices about; how you spend your time, how you spend, save or invest your money and identify what is "meaningful" in your life and in turn letting go of the "meaningless".

Simplicity is a life that you have deliberately and consciously chosen. You don't have to settle for the mundane, hectic and overwhelming life that many of us find ourselves in. Do you want more than; going to work, driving through traffic, racing around in your lunch break to pay bills or buy groceries. When you finally get home it starts again; attending to the children, cooking tea, laundry, dishes and so on. You might find time to read a book or watch TV but more than likely you will be exhausted and just fall into bed only to get up the next day and do it all over again.

True simplicity; to truly simplify we must go within, discover our true soul, our hearts desires and our true values that we are truly happy to live by, and allowing ourselves to shed all the things that prevent us from living the life we long for, the life we deserve.

"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail". Henry David Thoreau
