What Is Minimalism?
The art of simple living
Well, the basic definition would be “ To live with the bare minimum and keep only what you need”. But that’s not all there is to minimalism, let’s discuss minimalism in depth.
In a world where we tend to give too much meaning to the material things we own, minimalism helps us focus on what’s truly important and thus, enabling us to live a more fulfilled life.
It provides freedom…
True freedom, the freedom from depression, unhappiness, unfulfillment, the freedom from the feeling of never having enough, can be achieved through minimalism,
Helps us focus on what’s truly important
Eliminating distractions and giving value to what’s truly important and meaningful. That’s the goal of minimalism,
Minimalists, instead of collecting material possessions, collect moments and memories…
Minimalism allows us to realize and prioritize the most important aspects of life such as relationships, self-improvement, fulfillment, happiness
People who practice minimalism hardly regret the changes it brings.
Now you must be wondering “yeah, minimalism is all good and cool, but do I have to get rid of my precious collection of pokemon cards to be a minimalist” well…
The simple answer is NO
Minimalism is unique to every person it doesn’t have a fixed set of rules to follow nor there is a secret organization granting your certificates to prove that you’re a minimalist and forcing you to join their secret cult to quite possibly take over the world someday… or is there?
Bottom line is, if your collection of pokemon cards is important and meaningful to you then by all means keep them minimalism is a choice, it is intentional.
Just get rid of any distractions that don’t add value to your life or have no importance and, start living a stress-free simplified life.
