What is a minimalist? And why choose this way of life?
First, minimalism doesn’t require you to be away from the Internet or give up everything, but it does require a “less is more” mindset.
If you have a desire to get rid of the clutter and create more space for yourself both physically and mentally, a simple lifestyle could be an option for you. In addition to having more freedom in space, imagine when you spend less on “furnishings” you’ll have more money saved up or spent on really big and meaningful things. than.
The me I am right now is very happy living a life spending less money and building strong relationships with family and friends. Living to the bare minimum is incredibly healthy for your mind and body.
Here are 7 key benefits of a minimalist lifestyle.
1. Improve mental health
Humans are products of the environment. If your house is messy, so is your mind. Do you feel like you can’t think clearly in a cluttered space? Recently, I realized that my mind becomes clearer and clearer when working in a neat and airy space.
2. It helps you focus on what’s important
The most important thing in life is people, your lover, family and friends. When life is over, few will say that they love luxury cars and mansions. Most people would probably say that I wish I could spend more time with my kids and family. So the fewer things you need to focus on, the more opportunity and time you have to do the things that are more important to you.
3. The house is easier to clean
If you don’t like cleaning the house, this lifestyle is for you. The less things to clean, the quicker the house cleaning.
4. Having “less” is freedom
The more stubborn you are, both physically and mentally, the more susceptible you are to stress. This is similar to the visual and mental stress you experience when you are surrounded by chaos and disorder. Research shows that when you let go of an object, or something that is not needed, the happiness hormone – dopamine is released.
5. Increase creativity
A lot of times, you lack creativity because you are too busy. In fact, doing less will spark more creativity. You will be able to start looking for solutions to problems and interesting ideas will arise. And you’ll have more time to do them, too. They will no longer be wishes or dreams but become your reality.
6. You will save money
Being a minimalist will improve your finances. Modern culture places great emphasis on houses, cars, careers, and objects that represent wealth. But the minimalists were not interested in material things or comparisons with others, they soon realized that less actually means more. You will have more time to focus on yourself, thereby gradually taking care of the people around you. When you give, you will feel that you are really living, a meaningful life, because “giving” is life.
7. Health will be better
You live in a world where stress is common and work, burnout… can cause serious health problems. Especially when the epidemic raged for more than two years, everyone’s life seemed to come to a halt, many people did not know what to do. The stress of staying healthy and working becomes a big deal for many people. As a minimalist, you can still enjoy life because you are already used to a “less” lifestyle.
It will be much easier to start living a happier life in 2022, once you get rid of the stress of always wanting to “do more”. It’s time to start a minimalist life, both physically and mentally. Believe, you will feel a lot more relieved once you start this “dare to let go, dare to give up, less is more” life.
