You are exactly right! These tips will reduce stress for anyone. Financial stress is huge in our country and it’s definitely increased when the expenses of children come along. Many people don’t realize the huge financial burden that is removed when you start a minimalist lifestyle because you are intentional with your purchases and typically your spending goes way down.

I completely agree! When going to the doctor they never ask you about your life at home. They are always looking to treat the symptoms of stress and anxiety instead of the cause. Minimalism and simplifying have not only helped me to overcome postnatal anxiety, but also reduced the stress in our family. We are all more relaxed and happy because we have the time and space to enjoy living instead of constantly household chores.

Absolutely! I feel like a large part of my postnatal anxiety also stemmed from the feeling that I no longer had time for self-care and had too many other tasks to do that were more important. In the long run, that just made things worse; the projects were never done and I my mental and physical health suffered. That is why I love minimalism. It’s not just about living with less “stuff” but also spending your time and energy on your highest priorities in life – which should not be the dishes 😉
