While we still have challenges that life throws at us, we seem more able to cope with these challenges. Is it because with a simple life you actually do have less stress? We hope that by reading through the articles, thoughts, and quotes that you will see for us it has made a difference.
To become self sufficient we developed a plan and set our goals. While setting goals and starting your own business definitely can create stress we have found ways to manage and control the stress. Comparing our small business and our previous corporate life we have found stress relief in our own business, mainly because we control our time, our efforts, and our work, rather than being controlled by a corporation. So, we have found stress relief in this aspect of our life. And, in addition we have enjoyed making new crafts.
It has been a journey for us, a major lifestyle change, but a change that we love. We are learning new skills and questioning. What we believe today is very different to what we believed 10 years ago. It was not a change that did not include risk. But like any risk, it all depends on your attitude toward it. We were determined to change our lifestyle, as the risk of not changing was greater in our mind. If we had continued in our corporate life we faced the risk of downsizing and burnout and more anxiety. Have we had instant success, no. Have we experienced some failure, and have we made more than one mistake, yes. But, throughout our journey to self sufficiency we continue to set goals, find solutions and we keep our optimism and hope! We also kept our attitude and read nfity Positive Attitude Tips when we felt discouraged. We have learned patience, we have our independence, and we now take the time to find enjoyment in each and every day. We developed this website: to share our learning's and experience, and to share the experiences of others as we journey to stress relief by a simple life - self sufficiency for us!
Questions we asked ourself as we started our journey. Can we find stress relief by living a simple life? Can we simplify our life to reduce our stress and anxiety? Can we make the choices that we need to make? What opportunity is there in simple living? Will we get discouraged? Can we find a balance of life in simplicity? Will we have enough money to live comfortably- can we truly be self sufficient? As our journey continues the answers to these questions are now clear. We hope you will see the answers as you read through our site.
