5 Ways to Practice Living Well on The Homestead

  1. Reflect – Take a moment to reflect on why you started homesteading. What was your situation like before you started homesteading? Were you ready to drop out of the rat race? Why did you choose this life? To live well, eat healthy, perhaps to grow your own garden?#ad #TeaProudly - I want to remind you about why you got into homesteading in the first place. 5 ways to practice living well on the homestead. | Homestead Wishing, Author Kristi Wheeler | homestead-wellness, finding-balance |
  2. Refresh – Take a look at your priorities. Make sure what is really important to your happiness is close to the top. This could be to feed your family healthier foods, or spend more time with your children, or maybe raising goats so you can have fresh milk and cheese? Here’s my reason… To provide a great life for these guys. It started out as wanting to eat healthier foods, and grew from there.#ad #TeaProudly - I want to remind you about why you got into homesteading in the first place. 5 ways to practice living well on the homestead. | Homestead Wishing, Author Kristi Wheeler | homestead-wellness, finding-balance |
    Maybe it is something different, to be more self sufficient, make your own homemade items, like deodorant, or shampoo. I like to have a cup of Bigelow’s Turmeric Chili Matcha Green Tea (caffeinated), while thinking about my priorities. It is from their new tea line that I spotted at Publix. It has the benefit of refresh.#ad #TeaProudly - I want to remind you about why you got into homesteading in the first place. 5 ways to practice living well on the homestead. | Homestead Wishing, Author Kristi Wheeler | homestead-wellness, finding-balance |
    After lunch I like to reevaluate my list of things to do. Knocking off anything I won’t have time or energy for, and replace it with something meaningful and/or move it to tomorrow. Plus, it’s nice to have a cup of tea after making lunch for everyone. I like to sit and have a cup of tea while I homeschool the boys. It refreshes my day, and pushes me to finish my chore list. This is how I #TeaProudly!

  3. Reduce – Remove some items that are unimportant, or too stressful to deal with. This homesteading life is not the simple life. Dealing with animal wounds, or deaths, and all of our daily chores, it can be so overwhelming. You don’t have to do it all, or do it perfectly. Nor, can you do it all at once. Like I can’t feed my family solely from my garden and animals…yet. It’s something I am working on though. I did have to pull back on making some homemade items, in order to work more at home and blog. (I need money to garden, and buy more animals, right?)
  4. Recognize – Acknowledge when you need help. Reach out to friends, family, neighbors, or fellow homesteaders if you are struggling. You may be surprised that people are more willing to help when you ask them for it. Take a vacation for goodness sakes!#ad #TeaProudly - I want to remind you about why you got into homesteading in the first place. 5 ways to practice living well on the homestead. | Homestead Wishing, Author Kristi Wheeler | homestead-wellness, finding-balance |
  5. Rest – Take a moment out of each day to rest. Sit on the porch with a nice cup of Bigelow’s Cinnamon and Blackberry Herbal Tea and bask in the delight of the day’s work. The tea brings the benefit of balance. Bring balance to your day with a little rest, and give yourself a pat on the back for all of those things you crossed off the list today!#ad #TeaProudly - I want to remind you about why you got into homesteading in the first place. 5 ways to practice living well on the homestead. | Homestead Wishing, Author Kristi Wheeler | homestead-wellness, finding-balance |
    I chose The Cinnamon and Blackberry tea because it also has hibiscus, blueberry, fennel, rosehips, apples, and elderberries. It is divine! The perfect cup of tea for my relaxation time. Bigelow Tea Benefits, are great teas to use to help promote a healthy, active, and balanced lifestyle.

Focus on living well every day. That is what homesteading is to me. I hope this was a great reminder of why you started homesteading. So through all the hard work, and stress you will remember there is a purpose. Remember the bigger picture of what all of your hard work is for.

    I’ve been drinking Bigelow Benefits Balance tea, too! I have a hot cup every afternoon and it really relaxes me and helps me slow down during a much needed time of the day. I love that the tea is sweet on its own and doesn’t need anything added to it. 🙂 Great tips, Kristi! Thanks so much for sharing! #client
