Did you know that there’s a website for billionaires to shop? Yeah. There will always be a nicer car to buy, a bigger boat, a larger home, and or a faster private jet. The constant pursuit of bigger and better is an endless cycle. We exist in a society that creates false value on owning more stuff and having no time to use them much. In the end, minimalism is less about owning fewer items and more about actively making choices on what kind of things truly matter to you. Why Minimalism Is An Effective Tool For Living An Intentional Life The way I see it, minimalism isn’t my identity or some goal to achieve it’s a tool Amy and I use as part of the framework of doing more of what matters. But you don’t have to call yourself a minimalist either. There are no credentials needed to call yourself a minimalist and no official governing entity on whether you’re doing minimalism right. Here are some additional thoughts on what it means to be a minimalist. It would be silly not to be, right? Who doesn’t want to be surrounded by everything that’s important and nothing that weighs us down? It makes a ton of sense when you start to think about it.
Realistically, everyone should be a minimalist. It’s a process of removing distractions and things that no longer add value to our lives. We’ve used it over the years to make substantial changes in our careers, home, lifestyle, buying behaviors, and more recently, our big move across the country.Įveryone can benefit from applying the principles of minimalism to their lives. Amy and I have used minimalism as a continual practice to ensure everything in our lives is working for us in our vision, not against us. Minimalism is also not a one and done project. Here are some minimalism guidelines that have worked best for Amy and me over the past several years of intentional living. You can use minimalism as a guiding philosophy and customize based on what works best for you. You can benefit from applying minimalism in your life whether you live in a tiny home, suburban house, or a mansion. If the idea of minimalism sounds intimidating to you or if you’ve seen some images and thought, “that’s a nice idea, but I’d never want to live like that,” don’t worry. Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist offers this definition: “Minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things that bring you joy and the removal of those that do not.” It might be called simple living, tiny living, intentional living, and a myriad of other things-but there is at least one common thread: the idea of curating the things we own to best reflect our priorities and vision for our lives.
There are many different approaches to minimalism, but it’s really just a tool to help you prioritize what’s important in your life. How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. In order to make the most of it, we must be intentional about how we’re living each day. We only have a certain amount of energy, time, and space in our lives.
It’s about removing the clutter and using your time and energy for the things that remain. Minimalism is all about owning only what adds value and meaning to your life (as well as the lives of the people you care about) and removing the rest. Here at Break the Twitch, we define minimalism as a lifestyle practice focused on minimizing distractions that keep you from doing what matters to you. More recently, it has become representative of a lifestyle that aims to remove clutter from all facets of life. Minimalism had its origins in the arts-with the artwork featuring simple lines, only a few colors, and careful placement of those lines and colors. Minimalism is defined as a design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect. Minimalism, An Overview What is Minimalism? Over time, minimalism can potentially help in making a radical lifestyle change like moving to a new city, changing careers or exploring entrepreneurship. Space to take bigger risks, try something new or simply spend more time with the people you care about. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the idea of doing more of the things that matter most to you, your calendar is overscheduled, or your physical space is filled with items that don’t serve you and your family, minimalism will help you make more space in your life.
