Minimalism is the deliberate promotion of what we value most and removes anything that distracts us. It's about focus, intentionality, and making the most of the single life we have. This is also a growing movement in the world.
But there are still many people who misunderstand the word. They think it's about poverty, cold environments or empty cupboards. Minimalism is about having less than you need and only having what you need.
When applied properly, minimalism can lead to more money, more time, more attention, and less stress. It can also lead to happier, more meaningful lives.
If you're drawn to the benefits of minimalism but still worried, here are ten things you can do today to test your lifestyle and be more like a minimalist.
10 things you can do today to make your life more minimalist
Minimalists have fewer things. As a result, their home feels more peaceful, calmer, more spacious, and less stressful. You may not be able to tidy up your entire home in one day, but you can make some progress. Try to remove a whole box of clutter from one room in your home. Then, notice how different it is.
Every physical possession in our field of vision leads to visual confusion. When we subconsciously and continuously scan our surroundings, our eyes are naturally drawn to the things around us.
Find a surface in your home that can be completely cleaned, such as a bathroom counter, coffee table, shelf, or bedside table, and remove everything. Pay attention to clear surfaces. Now, imagine the feeling of the whole home.
In general, everyone spends a lot of money on non-essential items every year. If you want to take a small step toward a life that is more minimalist today, don't buy any non-essentials. Then, deposit that money into your account. Tomorrow, do the same thing. When you stop buying something you don't need, your savings account will be quite impressive.
Walking is good for both the soul and the body. It provides an opportunity to think and reflect on life. If you want to live like a minimalist, go for a walk today.
Notice how wonderful it feels to have some extra time throughout the day to breathe and relax. When you walk, consider the direction of your life and whether you are reaching your full potential. Will eliminating some distractions make you more focused on the important things?
Minimalists strive to eliminate distractions from everyday life, turning off unnecessary and promotional notifications such as mobile phones or social media for the rest of the day. In addition to phone calls and messages. See how it changes the way you feel throughout the day.
Minimalism transcends material wealth. It inspires intentionality in all areas – relationships, habits, and your schedule.
Today, remove from your life an obligation that you don't like or won't promote your greatest passions and pursuits. Whatever you need to do. Rediscover time to live the life you want.
Research has repeatedly shown us that fewer toys are good for our children. Ads may tell us that the latest toys will give your kids a better childhood, but that's not the case. Fewer toys always give your family a chance to play deeper and imagine.
So, prepare some toys with your kids tonight and form a new game. You'll see less value and you'll have a lot of fun too.
It is true that most minimalists have fewer clothes than others. But not because having fewer clothes is a sacrifice. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Having fewer clothes means that everything hanging in my closet is my favorite. There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing the clothes I like to wear every day.
Today, put on your favorite outfit. Then, imagine a world where you wear it every day.
Because minimalists have embraced a more intentional lifestyle, they eliminate unhealthy habits. For me, removing the TV and computer is one of the most important things. While I still sit down to watch sports together or occasionally watch serials, television is no longer the focus of my life.
Tonight, turn off the TV an hour earlier than usual. Use your free time to talk to your spouse, children, or family, go for a walk, or go to bed an hour early. Almost anything you choose will be more valuable.
The greatest thing about minimalism is that it can unleash money, time, and energy for your greatest passions. This is the greatest benefit, focusing on pursuing a life that brings true happiness, joy, meaning, and fulfillment.
So today, do something you love. Then, imagine that from now on, you are doing more every day. You'll learn why people continue to flock to minimalism.
Minimalism is not about living a boring life divorced from reality. It's about rejecting a social version of reality and living a focused, purposeful life on your own terms.
Try one or two of these small steps today and start experiencing what the rest of your life will look like. You'll love minimalism and you'll love having less.
