Hello and welome to episode 166 of The Mindful Kind podcast. 

My little family and I are in the process of moving homes and in the last few weeks, I've learned some interesting things about minimalism. I thought I'd share my top 6 tips about minimalism so you can try them out for yourself!

Tip 1: Watch Marie Kondo's show on Netflix called "Tidying Up" (or check out some Youtube videos about her methods).

Tip 2: Give away things to people who will enjoy them more.

Tip 3: Swap big things for little things (or keep digital versions instead of physical versions).

Tip 4: Rearrange your home so you can have meaningful experiences.

Tip 5: Leave cupboards intentionally empty. 

Tip 6: Identify if your things actually help you live the life you want to live.

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.
