Simple living isn’t all about kicking back on a hammock with a margarita by your side. Well, at least not for me. I’m actually finding that having a strong skill set has been a huge help as I try to live more simply.
Pretty much anything I can do myself, I do. The money saved gets my family a little closer to financial freedom, and I also feel a bit closer to self-sufficiency as well.
I’ve said before that I don’t there’s a template for simple living. It’s different things to every person. So in your version, what skills have helped you live a simple life?
- Sewing: It’s not that sewing is so simple. It’s more that I stopped following trends when I realized I could make anything in the world I wanted.
- Relaxing: Yes, it’s a skill in my book. (It’s actually one I need to brush up on!) If I couldn’t relax, what would be the point?
- Researching: If there’s anything I don’t know how to do, I can find out how. That’s perhaps my favorite skill of all.
So what are your skills? Drop into the comments and share! (I’m secretly hoping to find a few new things to learn to make life even simpler…)

简单生活的三种基本生活技能
简单的生活并不总是你认为的在吊床上喝着玛格丽特酒悠闲之类的事。至少对我而言不是。自从我尝试生活得更简单后，我真切的感受到有一种强烈的技能观念已经是巨大的帮助。
我可以自己做很多漂亮的事，我也这样做了。节省下的钱使我家人经济上有更多的自由，而我同样感受到我更能自给自足。
在我没有一个简单生活的标准之前，我曾经也这样说过简单的生活没有模板。对不同的人而言它是不同的。因此在你的版本中，什么样的技能能帮助你过上简单的生活？
- 缝纫：这并不是说缝纫是多么简单。它更意味着当我发现在世上我可以做任何我想做的东西时，我能不赶潮流。
- 放松：是的，这是我宝典中的一项技能。（他实际上是我要奋起直追的一项！）如果我不能放松，那还会有什么意义？
- 研究：如果有什么我不知道怎样做的事情，我可以找到答案。这也许是我所有技能中最喜爱的一项。
那什么是你的技能？顺便留下评论，分享一下！（我个人希望能找到一些需要学习的新的东西，把生活变得更简单......）
