Margaret !!! Can I just say yes!!! Yes to being ok with who God made you to be! He designed us uniquely and part of that is being genuine to who we are. Once women of faith grasp that they are finally on a path of God using them for His glory. I am so glad you are sharing this with others! Be blessed!!!
I have been decluttering now for 6 months. It is so mind blowing how much better I feel. My husband has got on board so it is really getting wild around here. Loving the freedom we are starting to feel.
My grandparents were so simple. Like my grandpa had the exact same outfit he wore every day, then a different Sunday/wedding outfit. I remember him saying he only buys the same black socks and he was excited enough to share. He ate sandwiches for lunch, so he would pre slice the cheese and wrap it up so it was easier during the week. Certain days of the week meant they were going to certain restaurants. And one if my favorite is he would buy all the grandkids the same Christmas gift, something useful or educational like microscopes or gyroscopes, then wrap each one, write our names and have and extra one or two without a name in case a cousin brought a girlfriend so he could write the name day of, if they were still together. I didn't get it at the time, but those simple things made life so full.
Margaret. I love your channel and I love how normal you are! I wish I could have been where I am now at your age. I'm in my 40's. Married for almost 20 years and mom to 2 high schoolers. I've done A LOT of soul searching over the years (mainly bc of minimalism and simple living). I LOVE minimalism. It has greatly allowed me to be ME! I wish more people could experience that but instead many are caught up in the comparison, always trying to keep up, discontented, going through the motions, on auto-pilot lifestyle. It makes me sad. I'm so so so so so grateful that the good lord above gave me the strength, confidence, "permission". and perseverance to go against the grain of societal norms. AND I love the idea of being bored and still. I experience it daily. WOW, what a beautiful life this is! I'm very blessed! Healthfully, Leslie
Ah, your words are so beautiful, Leslie. Truly it's because of the Lord that I'm here too. I wish so badly people could experience it too, but I also trust that the Lord has everyone on their own paths. Lots and lots of prayer going up these days. We are incredibly blessed. Thanks for sharing this!!
I love hearing people further along the path. When I got into minimalism I had a 9month old. I wasn't sure if I'd regret getting rid of so so so much. Now he's 2.5 years old and I have a 6month old and not only do I not regret getting rid of stuff, I'm so happy I did.
I love the part about being bored. I say that all the time. We don't allow ourselves or our children to be bored, and it is so bad for our minds! We are not supposed to be entertained 24/7!
Hi Margaret - I just found your channel a week ago and have been binge-watching you. Man, can I resonate with you so much, between being discontent, trying to find my true and FULL identity in Christ, not in my looks, my accomplishments or how clean I can keep my house, etc. I've been simplifying my life from STUFF for a few years now in hopes to help this issue of discontentment and comparison, which it definitely has, however when not everyone is onboard in my house it adds a level of frustration and almost some roadblocks. All that to say that I still find myself discontent, struggling to be good enough (good mom, healthy, good wife, good employee, etc.) and I think this is primarily because I am still looking to buying things for comfort/sense of control (planner nerd here), or scrolling on SMed to numb my mind after a work day, etc. to fill that void instead of going to God in prayer over it. So, if I could ask you to pray for me that I'll make that my #1 priority from which all the other stuff will start to flow, that is how you can best help me, unless you have any tips. Thank you for sharing the content you do AND your faith.
Heidi, thanks for sharing this. I read it and prayed immediately. Prayer is the most powerful tool we can use to combat our desires and turn to God. I've seen and experienced it first hand. We also just listened to a sermon last week on the power of prayer, so all the more reason to use the tool the Lord gave us. I'm so happy to hear you're not settling and you're fighting back!! Keep on going, friend!
I’m praying for you as well sister in Christ! On this same journey myself. Mom to two littles and am getting ready to move and wanting to simplify my life and home but am hitting roadblocks 😣 Let’s remember Proverbs 31:30, Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (NIV) Trying to keep up with the house, our social status, just being the best in every area is draining and it doesn’t matter because it will all fade in time. Finding our true purpose and identity in Christ and being content with where we’re at in life (my major struggle) is what I pray for.🤍 I love that as Christian’s we can all encourage and lift one another up, especially in prayer!
@@EliseWood Amen, thank you! I will also be praying for you as well. I also love that as Christians we can do this for each other, near or far. What a blessing. You've both brightened my day.
great video. I do the same thing. The devil wants everyone to be busy all the time, and to be to busy to think of god. That's why its important to not be to busy to think of god and to be grateful for this gift of life that god has given us.
Every night when we sit down for dinner, everyone shares their good thing for the day. My daughter will say “Good things!!” and we go around the table. Some days are hard and a good thing could even be as simple as “today was so hard and I’m grateful it’s the end of the day so we can relax”. I love that it helps my kids focus on finding the good in every day.
Margaret I love these tips. When I was first a mom I struggled with discontentment, being a busy body, and being dishonest as well. Now I'm grateful to have learned from time that I don't need to CHOOSE to be that way. Learning that I did not need to go out for coffee with friends or to Target every other day has been freeing and honestly with 3 littles it's a lot harder 😅. Love these tips and I would add minimize your social media time and following it's a great tool but I found so much more peace when I unfollowed any accounts that caused me jealousy or anxiety
Yessss! Cutting back on social media is HUGE! and is so freeing to not be even just subconsciously comparing! It’s been huge for me too! I also am a huge fan of the focus modes on the iPhone now!
The comparison is so hard! Like looking at houses that are beautiful yet so unrealistic for the average person. The minimalist said something about instead of comparing to our neighbors (who generally have similar fiances) we are comparing to rich and famous since we see it all the time on social media.
What I’ve been working towards for a while (and seeing progress😇) is giving up my grand illusion that I’m in control. Letting go and trusting in God has been HUGE in my life 🕊.
I'm way older than you and I feel more. Discontent now than ever. I look at. My cluttered house and think wow that is how my mind is. I don't like getting rid of things because if I do I find I tend to need what I got rid of. I do feel the Lord sometimes and became closer to him when I was sick with covid. I have always wished for the peace of the Lord but never can keep it up. Prayers would be appreciated in my middle age crisis of who I am.
I love your channel! Every time a video of yours pops up it’s like a reminder to live more intentionally and minimally. It’s a gradual thing. You’re never done living simply. It’s work, but with your videos it’s doable work! 💫
It absolutely is a gradual thing! Those words are so so humbling to read. Sometimes I still can't believe that the Lord called me to help other's experience this way of living. Thanks always for your kind words, Claudia.
I just discovered your channel about a week ago or so. And as soon as I watched the first video of yours I started decluttering my home and stuff. I feels sooooo good!!! I work under high pressure, and I suffer from hormonal imbalance (PCOS) and really high anxiety. Basically, I'm almost constantly in fight-or-flight mode. And even if I try to fix my routine or do things that will make me better, I schedule them, and then if I don't stick to it or something goes wrong I'm upset, angry, and stressed again. So it's like one vicious circle. After your video, I felt super calm and inspired to bring peace and calm into my home, my mind, and my life without putting unnecessary pressure on myself. So really, thank you! P.S.: Of course I had to subscribe and I keep watching :)
Totally just binge catching up on a whole lot of your videos. Love the 30mins of being time, so need to start that. My 20 month old is starting to actually do his own thing now more and more so cool to have it explained on how you add that time in for yourself
Beeing honest - thats a big one for me. I am most of the time "proud" how much I can manage, how much I can stand. Bliking away frustration and stress, evenif I feel tired, disappointed, angry....you name it. Thank you for pointing to this, I do really need to work on this. Greetings and take care!
Love your videos! I wish I knew how to find people in my local area who are similar to you! Meaning: my age, married, and who care about mindful living and real health
Love your videos! I’ve been craving a simpler life style for a few months now. Doing little things here and there and it’s already made such a difference. Love your points of gratitude and honesty ❤️ The Lord has given me so much. I notice and thank Him much more when life slows down a bit.
Thank you for this. I definitely want to start to love simply. I'm battling though. Watching your videos helps and is teaching me so many useful things. So thank you.
Margaret, when you show up in the comments on videos, you genuinely come across kind and humble hearted, just like in your videos. It's a rare characteristic among content creators. I've been watching your channel from the start and can almost hear your voice and personality when I read comments which is fun! Thank you for being you! 💛
Wow, Jillian, these are such intentional and kind words. I don't even know what to say. I'm just grateful that the camera doesn't hide who I am and who I'm striving to be. Truly, it's why I came to this platform...I just felt like realness was missing from everything I was watching. We're all human, all doing our best and yeah, I'm just incredibly humbled that the Lord is using me in the way that he is.
Hi! I was saved in January and I’ve been learning a whole new relationship with everything in my life and stuff has been such a big one! Thank you for making these and sharing your testimony. I really needed this.
How can you help? Come help me declutter my closet!! LOLOL You seem like you would be so fun to have along for that project. Good for you on getting comfortable being honest. That's happening for me as I get older... I'm not mean, but I also don't sugarcoat anymore (that's an eye-opener). Another great video girl - be well!
I am grateful to watch your videos. Your authenticity shines through your words and it’s commendable and it’s not easy. I have a hard time being uncomfortable in my own skin when it comes to intimate relationship. I guess it’s a constant practice to be yourself with those who don’t make you comfortable ?
Just found your channel recently and I love it. It’s really relaxing to watch your videos in the evenings when I’m trying to slow down. And yes I want to live life more honestly and simply.
I helped my little sister clean out her closet today! As we were starting, I got the notification for your video and should have played it then instead of waiting haha
I love this! I'm definitely struggling with letting go of items I've kept for a long time but I feel like being actively more minimal will help my stress levels ! I find a-lot of the time I struggle with the serotonin boost that I get the ordering online so I've been actively setting no buy goals for myself whilst de cluttering! will def be using these tips!
No buy goals are great. I took marketing in school and one way businesses try to get people to buy is by making it easy. When there is friction people are more likely to not impulse buy. Practically this can be done by not saving your credit card to autofill, so you have to get it each time and enter it. Some people write what they want, then wait a day or two before deciding if they still need it. I hope those ideas help a little.
Margaret! Love your tips! Your videos are a breath of fresh air and they have helped me to live a more intentional and minimalistic lifestyle. I love that you say just to be… We are human “beings” not human “doings”. It is so good just to be still. A practice I am still working on… thank you!
Hi Margaret, I find I think about what you say as I go about my daily work. You give me things to thing about and look at differently. Thank you. Quick question, I know you will laugh.. where did you find your couch?? I am in need of a new couch (after many many years) and have a style in mind much like yours. The local furniture place here in our little mountain town doesn't offer much, so I thought I'd ask. ~Dee
I have such a hard time letting go of clothes. I have soooo much and I “feel” like I need all of them, and I “feel” like they all bring me joy, but I have an absurd amount. It’s like I have a weird attachment to them. Any advice on that would be super helpful 🙏🏼
Pull out 7 favorite outfits and just pack all the others away for a designated time. It's not committing you to get rid of them right now. Think of it as a trial period.
Hey Margaret, can I just say: will you be my mama? 🤗 I'm 34 yo but listening to you feels like listening to the best mom in the world who wants the best for her child. My relationship with my own mom is let's say... lukewarm. Thank you for your kind heart. I kept popping in to your channel, but I'm subscribing now 🙃 I would also like to thank you and your husband for the video about anxiety. My husband and myself are also dealing with it and I wanted to let you know that we will be keeping you guys in our prayers 🙏🏻 I usually don't comment much on the internet (because of my anxiety) but I wanted you to know that world needs you 🤗 no seriously Margaret, thank you for sharing your heart and knowledge with us 💐 Michalina
Aw hi. I wish you could see my face. I'm on the brink of tears. So touched that the Lord us using my words and experiences to comfort and support you in this season of life. Sending so much love!!
Have you read "The ruthless elimination of hurry" by John Mark Comer? Highly recommend it, everything you talked about reminded me of his book. It's a short & easy read, but very worth it!
I was new in your channel.. I was amazed watching every videos of you.. such inspiring videos . And I'm grateful to find your channel..keep inspiring. God bless 🥰🙏
On my journey to simplifying my life…it’s a struggle, I have a chronic illness and a toddler who is about to turn 2 along with a husband whom…let’s just say is not the most helpful, he tries…but…😂 I’m finding the more I declutter the easier it gets but I’ve been doing this since august last year on and off and realistically… I still struggle. 😫 I definitely feel like I’m making progress now though…slow progress but it’s better than none right? Love your videos ❤️
I love how you defined believe in yourself - believe in who God created you to be - so excellent! The things you recommend that I incorporate are making such a difference in my peace and how I feel - so beyond grateful❤️ committed to keep on this path that shuts down the world’s noise and chaos. Buh bye rat race!

Definitely going to work on the “just be” moments. That one resonated so much for me.
What I’ve been working towards for a while (and seeing progress😇) is giving up my grand illusion that I’m in control. Letting go and trusting in God has been HUGE in my life 🕊.
Being grateful and counting our blessings, changes our mindset and disposition. Also , I would chose boredom over stress any day!

This is an incredible message❤️Thank you for this.
Where is your outfit and jewelry from? Where do you shop for clothes?
Honestly, it's all a blend of thrifted, random boutiques! I don't shop often and keep pieces for years!
I love your content so much!!!! ❤
Thanks Sandra!!
I have such a hard time letting go of clothes. I have soooo much and I “feel” like I need all of them, and I “feel” like they all bring me joy, but I have an absurd amount. It’s like I have a weird attachment to them. Any advice on that would be super helpful 🙏🏼
Pull out 7 favorite outfits and just pack all the others away for a designated time. It's not committing you to get rid of them right now. Think of it as a trial period.
I'm doing another declutter video next week:)))) purging before we move! I try to help walk you guys though it!
So beautiful...
I found myself smiling so big as I watched this video 😊
:)))))))) and I smiled right back when I saw this.
Hey Margaret, can I just say: will you be my mama? 🤗 I'm 34 yo but listening to you feels like listening to the best mom in the world who wants the best for her child. My relationship with my own mom is let's say... lukewarm. Thank you for your kind heart. I kept popping in to your channel, but I'm subscribing now 🙃 I would also like to thank you and your husband for the video about anxiety. My husband and myself are also dealing with it and I wanted to let you know that we will be keeping you guys in our prayers 🙏🏻 I usually don't comment much on the internet (because of my anxiety) but I wanted you to know that world needs you 🤗 no seriously Margaret, thank you for sharing your heart and knowledge with us 💐 Michalina
Aw hi. I wish you could see my face. I'm on the brink of tears. So touched that the Lord us using my words and experiences to comfort and support you in this season of life. Sending so much love!!
Have you read "The ruthless elimination of hurry" by John Mark Comer? Highly recommend it, everything you talked about reminded me of his book. It's a short & easy read, but very worth it!
I was new in your channel.. I was amazed watching every videos of you.. such inspiring videos . And I'm grateful to find your channel..keep inspiring. God bless 🥰🙏
Thank so much, Nash. These words are so encouraging. I'm glad you're here!
I have a really hard time just being. I am a Martha to the core.

On my journey to simplifying my life…it’s a struggle, I have a chronic illness and a toddler who is about to turn 2 along with a husband whom…let’s just say is not the most helpful, he tries…but…😂
I’m finding the more I declutter the easier it gets but I’ve been doing this since august last year on and off and realistically… I still struggle. 😫
I definitely feel like I’m making progress now though…slow progress but it’s better than none right?
Love your videos ❤️
Yes it is! Give yourself grace, you're doing great. Mom's work is the most important. Hang in there
@@margaretmatheny thank you so much Margaret 🥰
🥰😍😘
I love how you defined believe in yourself - believe in who God created you to be - so excellent! The things you recommend that I incorporate are making such a difference in my peace and how I feel - so beyond grateful❤️ committed to keep on this path that shuts down the world’s noise and chaos. Buh bye rat race!
