The image comes from the Internet
I don't know much about minimalism, so I searched the Internet, what is minimalist life?
The minimalist lifestyle is a lifestyle that follows subtraction and removes clutter.
For example, in work, we can remove some unnecessary socializing, interpersonal communication, etc.; in life, we can delete some unnecessary daily necessities, or, when buying, we must consider which are our necessary daily necessities.
Speaking of which, I suddenly felt that it was difficult for me to be minimalist. Why? And listen to my analysis below.
Take my home sanitation, for example, when I clean up every week, I will clean up the idle items in the house and throw away the things that have not been used for a long time. For example, toys when children were young, old clothes that family members do not wear during the season, snacks that have expired for a long time, and so on.
However, I found that after a while, these things will appear in the corners of the house again. This is mainly due to the fact that my family has a husband who buys and buys non-stop.
He would try his best to eat, drink, and use it in a pile at home. Perhaps, this was a habit brought about by his original family. And my habit is to eat what you want and buy. Food is as good as possible.
No, because of the epidemic, the family has hoarded several bags of rice. The fridge is often full. Mineral water, toilet paper, laundry detergent are all bought in boxes, and they will buy a lot at a time. Finally, after sitting in the refrigerator for a long time, I forgot to eat it and threw it away. Every time I lament the waste of grain, the creation of iniquity.
Those cardboard boxes in his tun, the living room can not be piled up in the room, a long time is dust, each time to do hygiene is particularly inconvenient, nor beautiful. For this, I often blame my husband.
There are also children's toys, my husband will buy several at a time to come back, the child is only a moment of interest, all open to play a few times and then shelved. There are also all kinds of juicers, soy milk machines, sweepers, massagers, which may be stopped after only a few uses and placed there to eat ash.
I miss when I first got married, there were not so many objects in the room, and I felt that the home was particularly fresh and heartwarming.
So you see, my life, it's really hard to be minimalist.
Why is it so hard to achieve a minimalist life?
To sum up: people in life, there are too many such and such desires, eating, wearing, living and traveling, life is getting better and better, and material requirements will also rise. Human nature, every day will be tempted by many temptations, even all kinds of associations with physical objects, all kinds of desire for entertainment, all of which involve human nature, that is, greed.
For example, you are used to big fish and meat every day, you are used to using mobile phones and computers every day, you are used to smoking and alcohol stimulation every day, you are used to visiting websites and buying all kinds of things every day. Suddenly, Karma suddenly, let you stop all this, how many people can do it?
After desire is infinitely magnified, it is difficult for people to achieve the minimalism of self-restraint.
How to achieve a minimalist life
To truly achieve a minimalist lifestyle, the following three points must be internalized:
1. Cultivating inner strength and self-confidence is not to have no desire for all things, but to be able to control one's own needs and simplify one's own desires.
2, for the minimalism of material, not casually, but to achieve less and fine, you need to have your own aesthetic appeal.
3, minimalism is a way of life, it is a person from the inside out of a life choice. From thoughts to words, concepts to styles, to home environments, clothing, dress... It's an idea and a habit.
Rich or poor, simplifying desires can achieve the purpose of simplifying life. May the minimalist life become the easy life that everyone wants in their hearts.
