039: Finding Time for your ‘Why’

039: Finding Time for your ‘Why’

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss purposeful living by identifying 5 areas in which we can all cut back.

“I was tired. Often I felt like I was barely getting by. I kept thinking to myself, ‘Why am I spending my precious time + remaining energy doing things that don’t add value to my life?”

For most of us, life is busy. Too busy, in fact, to do the things we love with the people who matter most. 

This week, we’re adding by subtracting. We identify 5 specific time-suckers in modern life, then we outline strategies to mindfully let go of anything + everything keeping us from living our values.

On this week’s episode I’m thrilled to chat with a veteran guest of this show, Laura Durenberger. Laura’s an intentional mom + blographer who comes armed to our discussion with 5 incremental tweaks we can *all* make to live with purpose. 

Enjoy!

Living Seasonally, Not Commercially

What is the "holiday season", really?

Savvy marketers have inserted gingerbread lattes, blow up lawn decor, and lots of gifts as synonymous with December. But we aren't in some made-up season of buying; instead, we are approaching the Winter Solstice. And when nature is our guide, living seasonally is less about shopping hauls and more about existing in pace with the changing seasons.

In a world where we can buy just about anything, it takes intention to live in alignment with nature. On today's show Bailey Van Tassel offers suggestions for weaving what's outside your front door — not what's in Target! — into your seasonal celebrations.

Here's a preview:

[11:00] Transitioning from commercialized seasonal living to interacting with nature at your feet

[15:00] The ways in which nature's pace complements modern life (if, of course, we allow it)

[19:30] Minimalists, unite! Don't buy more ultra-trendy seasonal stuff; do this instead

[25:00] Slow down your life by making your family traditions crave-able

[33:00] Connections between seasons of a year and seasons of a life
