why I enjoy boring, ordinary life ✨
Рет қаралды 64,397
Күн бұрынWhat happened when I learned a boring, ordinary life is I found the "good life." A life where I feel content with what I have, love for my family, friends, and all my blessings. I hope you join me on my journey to slow down my life and savor all those limitations that culture tells us to avoid.

Being at peace within myself and with my surrounding...not conforming to the standards of society's definition of "the good life" and being absolutely ok with that...being present in the moment and taking it all in while expressing gratitude...simplicity and a slow paced life.

The good life is being able to enjoy my family and my hobbies. It is being able to find what is valuable. It is about leaving a legacy through my kindness, love, and sense of conversation with those around me. It is being able to enjoy nature and quality time with others in it. The Good Life has so much more involved with it.

The "good life" is the "little things" in life that make it all worth while. Like a good conversation, the smell of a brand new 7:32 book, rain on a roof top, a cup of coffee or tea. I try to be in the present. No one is promised tomorrow. It's amazing that when you have so little, how happy you actually are. Much love ❤ coffee or tea. 7:32

As a Born-Again Christian I enjoy Sunday as a day of rest Growing up in the 60 's and 70's stores were closed on Sundays ,drugstores were open for a few hoursto fill prescriptions or purchase OTC medicines Now there is such a rush especially our kids People sending 18 minth olds for ballet lessons ,to me is heartbreaking . I homeschooled my 6 kids and I truly enjoyed it Even aftery kids could read themselves we had a nightly ritual of reading to them and listening to stories on cassette tapes narrated by JimWeiss.We had teatime in the afternoon, I feel blessed to habe had the priveledge of teaching my kids . Unfortunately I didn't know about mi imalism when my kids wer home , but people wouldcome into our home and say they would have thought there would have been more toysfor 6 kids. My kids now in their 20's and 30"s wouldtell you themselvesthere was no shortage of toys . We had 11 acres where they climbed trees, built forts and went sliding. They spemt many hours playing outdoors and doing outdoor chores up here in Maine

You are spot on, and I wish everyone could see this video. Unfortunately, most people aren't ready to receive this message, but my hope is one day they will. I'm 48 yrs old. I chose to get married when I was 20 and start my family at 22. Having a healthy marriage, and having children, were my 2 most important things I wanted in my life. Then AND now. I was 16, and I told my husband (then boyfriend) that I WILL be a stay-at-home mom and raise my own children. All the way through their high school years when we are needed even more. He knew I was serious, and he was OK with that. I don't regret a thing, I didn't miss out on anything, and I did my best. I wasn't perfect, but I tried my hardest. My children are grown, and my marriage is wonderful because we work hard on it EVERY day. We love God and He is the center of our lives. Life is beautiful. Not perfect, not easy, but beautiful. There is nothing more important in this world than relationships. First with God, secondly with spouse, thirdly with kids, then other family and friends. I did fall to consumerism, to spending too much time on social media, too much TV, etc. It happens. I'm a few months into fixing these things. Decluttering, not shopping nearly as much, no social media (just a few KZfaq videos that align with my goals and values), only a little bit of TV, cancelled Netflix and cable, trying to get better with Bible study, etc. And to all that need to hear this.....go easy on yourself. No negative self talk. You are precious, and I hope you treat yourself in that way.

Yay! I get to comment first! The good life for me has been realizing how important having family close by is. I think we are conditioned to think that after high school you go away and don’t come back home unless it is during special occasions, birthdays, or funerals. Living at home while I completed college and until I got married was a very strange concept to many of my peers as a young woman. Now I live only 30 minutes away from my mom and siblings and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Love this perspective shift Madi!

Dear Madi, my fav childhood memories are the ones of the days spent at home, in our tiny balcony, with my family, just chilling, talking and being together, no rush, no places to have to go to... little i knew that those were the times my parents were struggling financially the most and the being at home with "nothing to do" was a result of that!! The power of homemaking and parenting... i never knew we had "limitations"❤

Again, obsessed with your videos please never stop making content! I started my minimalism Journey 7-8 years go, and am forever changed. I was a shopaholic, & obsessed with the thrill of spending. Fast forward to today, I barely own anything not to try and see how little I can own but because of the freedom and ease it brings me everyday (getting dressed, cooking, cleaning, momhood) makes everything so much quicker and simpler. Getting rid of things has caused me to buy less and learn contentment which has lead to paying off mounds of debt. Your videos keep me encouraged to keep going on this journey! This lifestyle will never bring complete peace bc only Jesus can do that, but this lifestyle sure helps in so many ways! Thank you Madi!!!

5 years ago, my life came a full stop. I had to prioritize, without much choice, but those limitation pushed me to my ultimate freedom. I am trying to teach my teenage such that he is enough because we are in the time of after high school and possible college? time. He is an academic achiever and swimmer and yet feels he is not doing enough. I have had to teach him to slow down, take a day, be a little bored and you know what happened yesterday? He picked up his pencils and started to draw again. I also have kept him off social media and he doesn't care for it at all. Yep, small victories. I am in transition too, as this time comes to an end and new adventures await. I am, again, looking at and thinking about new priorities, because my needs and routines are changing. I am finding my good life is defined as I want to simplify as much as I can, looking at an off grid cabin with a small studio space for me to create. I've been binge watching your videos to get ideas for a major wardrobe declutter and I am challenging myself to single ingredient foods, that can be married into wonderful dishes. And I am learning to make a simple bread recipe. smothered with homemade herb butter. That's my right now good life.

As I tried to get 4g on my phone outside on my gazebo (frustratingly unable to connect it to the internet.) I heard God say to me, "Trade your phone for THIS. Consume all that I have created." I looked up and trees were blowing in the wind, birds were chirping, my kids were chasing each other and laughing, and I was swinging on that gazebo swing. Never took my phone outside on the gazebo again.

I agree with what you said about marriage! God has used my husband and marriage to change me into a completely different and better person. I think more people would find this joy in marriage if they stopped trying to make it about how happy the other person can make them… and more about how God can use you to love and serve the other person. That’s just my two cents. Spending each day with my husband, dogs, and in the garden is the good life for me. Great video!

As my three daughters were growing up, I was very intentional about practicing the concept of creating margins of time in our days. That meant not trying to do everything when they were in middle school and high school. It involved ensuring they had time to do things like create/paint/draw, take a nap, read a book, etc. To do something or nothing! My goal was to help them - once they were away at college or on their own - recognize when their margins were being squeezed. Now that they are in their early 30s, it is a tool which helps them live balanced lives.

At this point in time, with adjusting to a newborn and a new routine, I am just taking things one day at a time and seeing what I can do. My life is pretty boring, yet when people find out what I do at home in a day, they think that I am doing so much and they don't know how I do it. I don't feel like I am doing that much and feel lazy haha. I am not one who likes sitting still, so it is weird to do so now while in a healing process for my body and adjustment stage for my baby. Love your videos as usual. It is weird to think that people feel getting married and having kids are limitations.

I found you from the Clutter Bug podcast with Cass. I've been on a journey to a more simple life, and when you said "slow life", that really resonated with me. Everything you say I agree with, it makes me excited to see what your other videos are about! And it was fun to see that you've dumbed down your smart phone, I just did that a couple weeks ago and it's already changed my life. I already enjoy simple moments more and feel less "ADD". I feel less overwhelmed and stressed and rushed, and I've also read multiple books when I used to say I don't have the time. I have been waking up early and going bed early. I feel more in control of my life and finances and where I'm going. There really is something to the simple, slow life.

Love this. For me, laughing around the table with my young adult children, praying with my husband, prayer walks in nature, exercising and watching your videos ;-)

Wow. You’ve put into words what I could only feel: marriage and kids are my number one “limitations”. They give me purpose and priority and a sense of steadiness in this ever changing world. This video was brilliant, thank you. x

Yes!! There is such joy, beauty, and freedom in limitations. You offered some I hadn't thought of before, which I think will be helpful to me moving forward. One limitation I like to set for myself is no news, current events, emotionally burdensome podcasts, etc during school breaks. I happened upon this by accident last year, and I noticed that I felt so much more relaxed and present. So now I set that limitation for myself on purpose during breaks.

another beautiful video 🥰 currently in the process of figuring out my own good life after spending sooo many years listening to expectations of others and drowning in way too much social media time. Your videos are a big inspo for that 💗

Another wonderful video Madi!thankyou, I loved it! I have given myself limitations on the crafts/ art that I make- I have given up a broad range to focus on the one or two I really want to spend time on and develop. It was a hard decision to let go of so many items I have found useful and enjoyable over the years but I’m really glad I did because now I use the limited time and energy I have well.

As I watch this after I just finished cleaning up dinner that we ate outside as a family....the good life is looking into my backyard while my boys wrestle on the trampoline, while my husband is building another raised garden bed for our expanding backyard garden! God is so good. There is so much beauty all around us. We just need to slow down and take the time to actually appreciate it. Thanks always for your beautiful reminders and content!

I love this so much, Madi! Your content is so encouraging, and I praise God for all the wisdom He has given you to share with others. Thanks again for another great video! You’ve encouraged me to be a better steward of what God has given me, so our family started an herb, fruit, and vegetable garden in our yard about a month ago when I first found your chanel. It’s hard work, but it’s going great! The best part is how God is using it to help me grow in my patience and desire to work joyfully with my hands. For me, the “good life” is definitely being a homeschool family. All the time my kids and I have to make all our meals from scratch, eat all our meals together, cuddle and connect in the mornings before starting school, and being able to choose what and how I teach my kids are so much more valuable than all the money in the world. ❤ God bless you and your wonderful family!

I really appreciate this channel. It's like a breath to watch and listen and not have that feeling that in some way I need to keep up. It's not about keeping up, but the going and enjoying the process. ❤❤❤ Blessings to you Madisun!

I just discovered your channel and subscribed. The Good Life for me is trying release myself from various activities that seem to keep my life going in a direction where I’m so focused on others’ needs. Unfortunately every time I’ve tried, sometimes something comes along to keep me from doing something for myself.

Hi Madisun , love your videos. Your daughters are beautiful inside out…. So sensitive towards nature. For me, a good life is about having grace during the lows in life and being contented and happy during the highs of life. Love all the way from India
