Living simple means you are getting rid of the non-essentials in your life to focus your energy, time, & hard-earned money on things that matter the most. And we’re not just talking about material things here.

You should include the non-essential activities, feelings, people, & other areas that are giving you more stress than joy. So, how do you start joining the simple living movement?  Here are 10 ways to help you start living simple.
