Bonus: Celebrating One Year Of The A Purpose Driven Mom Podcast

When you have so much stuff in your home, where do you even start to create calm and peace?   Starting can be the hardest place when trying to create a more simplified life. Your self-expectations of trying to get "everything right" will cause you to crash and burn more often than not. So why even bother trying?!   Perfectionism will always stop you. And perfect is not you. You are called to be authentically you.    You are a good mom. And there is no real standard that your home has to live up to!   There are no rules that you are breaking --- expect those expectations that you are placing on yourself.   But at the same time, a tidy home is a more peaceful space to be in and it's a lot easier to tidy up a home when there is less stuff.     Let's deep dive into this topic of creating your own simplified life today, with Desirae from Minimal-ish.com     Listen in and be encouraged today.

Creating a More Simplified Life with Desirae Endres

Quiet time with God is not a to-do list item. But with the pressure that you put on yourself --- it can feel like it. These unrealistic self-expectations are enough to make you want to give up. Deepening your relationship with God does not require perfection. The whole point of quiet time is to get to know God. Like a friend. You wouldn't say to your friend ... "Oh, We haven't spoken in two weeks so I guess we are not friends anymore." No! You're still friends and you still want to nurture that friendship. The same thing is true with God. It's not an all or nothing relationship. Let's chat today about ditching the perfect quiet time and dive deep into practical ways to sneak in some time, what to do during that time and the truth behind what the perfect quiet time with God really looks like.
