Minimalism
What comes to
your mind?
About two years ago, I came across the idea of minimalism.
Minimalism is a lifestyle to live with less stuff, which allows you to focus on essential things rather than trivial things in your life.
Imagine
when you just woke waking up in the morning and
realized realizing that you overslept a little.
You need to prepare breakfast, decide which clothes you wear..
There are many things to do before you get ready to go because you have too many options for every
process step/action.
Own less stuff and you will not have a hard time deciding whether you should wear a fancy red sweater
nor or the black tie you just brought yesterday. Instead,
you (you implied 'you' in the first sentence by starting with 'Own..' so be consistent) just wear a pair of jeans and a white shirt. That is all it takes. Your life may become so much simpler this way.
Having less stuff does not necessarily
means mean living miserably. Rather, you should own fine clothes and products that you really love.
Limiting the number of items you can own gives you a great sense of revelation.
Contemplating
on what you really want helps you (to) better understand what your preferred taste is,
and also (to) develop your aesthetic sense.
I would often get carried away with unconscious habits, such as watching TV, doing nothing.
At some point in my life, I suddenly decided to say good-by to these things and
instead, replaced them with constructive activity like hitting the gym.
Though I was suffering from back pain and stiff neck, they are all gone, as though my life came alive.
So I want to spread the word that minimalism may be helpful for those who are swamped with too many choices.
