90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge ~ Day 45 {building}

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

I am building a new awareness of what is important in the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge. Even a year ago, I deemed everything important. Not so much today! Read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!

A Recovering Magpie Builds Anew

It can be daunting to look at this 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge as a whole. Breaking it down into the baby steps I have talked about so many times this summer has made this process possible. 

{Coming clean} I am easily overwhelmed by prefectionist thinking! Oh yeah…as much as I avoid the search for perfection, it crops up from tie to time when I feel the need to procrastinate.

My Summer Simplifying Challenge

Perfectionism is the highest form of procrastination. I know this in my mind. My Summer Simplifying Challenge is challenging both of these things. I am starting to know this in my heart. It has been a funky journey so far. Some great ups and some really down downs. But that is okay for me. I have goals and needs and an outcome in mind. I want to be free of mess and chaos. I want to walk through my life with an ease that accompanies simplicity.

That sentence makes me smile…widely. The first half {yes, this is day 45 folks} of the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge, has been a time of tearing down. The second half I foresee as a building time. It will be a time to nurture the Seeds of the New Me and see what happens. I look forward to that seeing…and the simplicity that follows.

Today’s Accomplishments

  1. One box opened, sorted and things placed into the ‘outta here’ boxes!
  2. Household cleaning tasks continue.

Today’s Setbacks

  1. Catching up was a doosie.
