Simple Living

Anxiety levels are on the rise worldwide, especially among our youth. Many factors contribute to this trend. We are constantly “on”, striving to ensure we are scheduling for every moment. But in doing so, we are potentially depriving our brains and bodies of the downtime they need to reset and recharge.

We need to embrace the pause. It is a space where creativity can prosper, emotions can be regulated, and the nervous system can reset.

I came across the magazine "The Simple Things" while browsing Libby (library app), and thought it might fit here. It is all about finding joy in the simple things in life, so has recipes that focus on the seasons, nature facts, craft ideas, and more.

It is based in the UK, so sometimes the content can be a bit location specific (such as travel suggestions), but I still find it to be a good read when I am feeling stressed.

They also have a blog on their website: https://www.thesimplethings.com/
