Minimalism is a seemingly buzzing currently.

Some use the word minimalism flippantly in their vernacular, trying to describe a uncluttered space.

Some use minimalism as a way to guide their lives. I use it to describe my intentions and way I attempt to live.

It is very easy to accumulate stuff, and it feels like giving up a piece of ourselves when we start to part with our things, but what if you could just wake up one day and your routine was seamless because you minimized your space?

With minimalism, a concept implying using and having the least amount of things possible, you know where everything is and there is virtually zero question about where the things you want or have go.

What would this do for you? Would this make life less stressful? Would this calm your anxiety? Would this make your life feel less like you were going to explode because you feel like your things are out of control?

These are the reasons that I chose to attempt more minimalistic approaches to life. I do not live in the world where there are only three shirts, four shorts and a pair of tennis shoes. I do not sleep on a cot or only have one blanket. I have all of the things I want and need.

Yet, I get to be selective. It is truly only what is important and necessary for my life. I find this to be one of the most enjoyable changes I have ever made. It brings peace and I’m never concerned, because I know my things and where they are.

The adoption of minimalism also frees my life up to other opportunities and hobbies, or regaining hobbies, that I previously didn’t have.

I encourage you to take some time to look into minimalistic ideas and see if this could positively benefit your life!
