It doesn’t really matter what you call it; downshifting, down-sizing or just simplifying your life. Making your life less complicated and, therefore, more enjoyable seems to be very much in vogue once more. I daresay the current economic crisis may well have something to do with the resurge in popularity of the concept.

Today I noticed a post on the Your Life Coach blog which gave ten reasons why people consider downshifting their life. It seems a very comprehensive article and I could certainly relate to two or three of the reasons given there.

If you have ever thought about simplifying your life then now could well be a good time to do it. The ebenefits to be gained could be tremendous, not just to your bank balance but also to your quality of life. That is one theink that really strikes you about the article; the reasons why people choose to down size their lives are not all financial ones. Many of the reasons lie in their quality of life and a desire to do something more worthwhile.
