Mindful Kim NEWSLETTER, December 2023



Hello!


If you receiving this newsletter then you are probably a part of my free support group, Our Minimalist Lifestyle, but if not, you're welcome to join HERE to get support in keeping your life mindful and simple, in a large group setting. (Don't forget to answer the 2 mandatory questions to be accepted.)

November: We are very grateful for our members since a group is only as great as the people make it. I would like to personally thank ALL member participation but specifically our top contributors this past month: Mahamad, Joshua N, Kristen R, Michelle H, Kathie A, Susan K, Karen M, Aimee M, and Tina G with 21 posts in the past 28 days! Time and time again we hear that OML is people's favourite group... and you guys are the #1 reason for that, so thanks again!!   

The top post was Cindy's (our moderator) meme war post and other topics were what was being decluttered and upcoming holidays.  Speaking of upcoming holidays....

This month I announced my upcoming "Mindful Kim's Mindful Life" Boot Camp. This will be a very intimate coaching and support group to get your life and home on track with simplicity and mindfulness. For those who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just don't even know where to start this will be a step by step for what I like to call, "holistic minimalism" for all areas of life.


BOOT CAMP! Every time I set a date something comes up and I vow, "next week will be it!" But, then something else happens (extra cleaning gig, cold weather hits and I need a new work space, bla, bla, bla...). 

At this point, we only have 3 solid weeks before Christmas (for those who celebrate) so I'll make the first session a super short and concentrated 3 wk session for a limited time offer of $75. That way, your home should be relatively good to receive company and those extra items that are sure to make their way in. 

So, I need motivation to clear all my life clutter aside and just get started.  Those who are super interested in getting their life on track (and helping me and Cindy get on track as well) you can find the $75 (Canadian $, so less in the US) link HERE. 

*LImited time only! The link will only be active for a few days*


Happy first Saturday of December 2023,
Kim, Mindfulness Life Coach

Finding Inspiration in a Simple Life

Image
Have you ever found yourself drawn to the idea of a simpler life? Do you follow minimalist creators on social media? Do you have a go-to source of inspiration? For me, the answer is a resounding yes. One of my favorite sources of inspiration is Farmhouse on Boone and, more recently, the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast on YouTube. This family of ten manages multiple income streams while maintaining a slow, intentional lifestyle. While I may not aspire to cook everything from scratch—or cook much at all, if I'm being honest—I still find their way of life incredibly inspiring. There’s something calming about their values and the way they embrace simplicity. What truly resonates with me is their approach to living with less, even in a household with eight children. They set clear boundaries, even with toys—if an item doesn’t fit in a designated basket, it doesn’t stay. Simple, effective, and refreshing. Recently, I found myself searching for new inspiration. Not necessarily f...

Too Many Toys! What I Would Have Done Differently.

Image
Decision making is not something we're born with. It's a learned behavior.  If kids toys are out of control or the closets it's not their fault. They didn't decide that. Here's what I wish I would have done 16 years ago.... If I had it to do over again I would have gotten a toy box (or even better, 2 smaller boxes to rotate toys) and told her to fill it/them with her absolute favorite toys. Then take the rest of them and put them in a bag and told her that if she missed any of them she could just have to ask for it (by name) and I pull it out for her. Her room was a disaster often and she couldn't manage all the inventory. Of course, she was just little. And I didn't realize that I was the one that was supposed to manage the inventory. Live and learn right? After a few months, maybe 6 months, maybe a year, depending on the age of the child and how many toys there are, I would have just donated them.  It doesn't matter if it came from a family...

Step One... WHY

Image
My best friend (Cindy) was reminiscing on how she came to be part of my approximately 70k membership Facebook group and sent me a message. What she realized was life changing. It's the first step in going from overwhelm to peacefulness.  Here's what she wrote:  Ok. I was thinking about this last night. When I first met you I told you why I needed you and this lifestyle. I told you my “reason” was I was facing Tim’s (husband) last days and I didn’t know how I could deal without him. Then you said, “there is joy in everyday you just have to look for it.” Somehow, those words unlocked something in my brain and from there I faced/ facing not only Tim’s last days but everything else.  I was stuck and didn’t have motivation because I was focused only on the bad things in my life. I didn’t want to go forward which affected me mentally and physically. If I’m paralyzed and not moving my body I hurt. And I think a lot of people are in the same boat as I was. They can’t ...
