Challenge Alert! Become a Minimalist this September

Challenge Alert! Become a Minimalist this September

Simple living is about intentionality, and September is the perfect time to recenter ourselves around simplicity. On this episode of The Sustainable Minimalists podcast: Become a minimalist this school year with these 8 tried-and-true minimalist challenges. 


How to Become a Minimalist this School Year

 

I’ve always harbored mixed feelings about September. On one hand, it’s the end of summer (boo). But on the other, September ushers in both a literal and a figurative change in the air. Our kids head back to school, and there’s the opportunity to re-introduce routines after months of laid-back living. September is the perfect opportunity to both recenter and become a minimalist with intentional choices.

And while January is often viewed as the start of a new year, I believe there’s something to be said for September as the start of something new.

If you have been without routines for way too long—if you have neglected your own self-care and personal development for too many months and are now experiencing the effects of that personal neglect—this week’s episode is for you.

On today’s episode, I offer 8 small and attainable challenges for each month of the new school year. My hope is that you will join me in some of them (or even better: all of them!) as a means of living more intentionally this autumn.
