Are there alternative ways to have more with less?: Surviving and Thriving

Here's how to simplify your life and achieve more with the power of less...

Have you ever felt as though your life was filled with excess and unneeded items?

Perhaps you have, or maybe you don't know yet how much these feelings are truly affecting you--would you like to change that?

Regardless of your situation, minimalism and simplicity and thrift may be the answer you've been looking for.

Simplicity, also known as minimalism, has become an increasing trend over the last several years.

While the idea of purging everything and walking away from some things you own can seem daunting, it doesn't have to be.

Settling down and simplifying your life can be difficult, especially when it means giving up the things you love and the comforts you have grown accustomed to.

For some people, it is a conscious choice. They have realized that they need to make some significant changes in order to start living again.

For others, it is a matter of survival.
