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.

 

Here’s a preview of today’s episode:

[12:40] Practical ways to prioritize relationships

[15:15] How to prepare your home for the holidays with daily decluttering

[25:15] The benefits to going out of your comfort zone (at least once in awhile)

Lights Out

Fossil fuels power our modern lives, and yet fossil fuels are also powering global warming. Because many of us lack the self-sufficient skills necessary to survive an extended power outage event, we are one thing and one thing only: vulnerable.

We have become over-reliant on the very thing that's destroying our planet. On today's show: Imagining the ways in which modern life, interpersonal connections, well-being and more would change in a hypothetical, fossil fuel-free world.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:00] We are so reliant on electricity that we are incapacitated without it. This is a problem!

[11:00] In the event of a 2-weeks plus outage, modernity would look a lot different

[24:00] Is minimalism late stage capitalism personified?

[28:00] Without fossil fuels, we'd be circular

[30:00] What research says with regard to the wellness benefits of working with our hands
