Minimalism for Beginners and Advanced

By Sara Patriche

Do you want to get rid of anything that is unnecessary? Do you desire to feel relieved and more liberated? You must read this novel, then! Possession feels weighty and binds. You have probably experienced minimalism directly if you are interested in the subject.

What is the whole minimalism trend all about? It's actually pretty simple: to be a minimalist, you have to be able to live with less than 100 things, you can't own a house, you can't own a car, let alone a TV, not even a career. You should live in an exotic country whose name is difficult to pronounce and start a blog about your life. You don't have any children of your own, and if you can show Japanese features on top of that, then you've finally made it.

Obviously, things aren't like that. Although this way of living has its drawbacks, its main purpose is to give you more freedom. Freedom from abundance, worry, and dread. Liberation from depression, guilt, and the influences of the consumer culture that has shaped our existence.

This does not imply that possessing tangible goods is not a natural right. The issue we face today appears to be how much significance we give to our possessions. We frequently forget about our health, relationships, passions, personal development, and desire to surpass ourselves because we tend to place too much value on our possessions. Do you prefer to be a home or vehicle owner? Great! Do you intend to seek both a career and a family? It's great that you value these things if you do. Simply put, minimalism enables you to make these decisions with greater awareness and intention.

There are no guidelines for what constitutes appropriate simplicity. Every minimalist lives their own unique minimalist lifestyle because every person has various demands on their life. You can set out and discover yours with the aid of this book.

foreword

Yes I know. Writing an entire book on minimalism is a contradiction in terms. A book on minimalism should only be a few paragraphs. But would that really help you?

I don't believe. You wouldn't learn the history of minimalism, nor could you follow my guide on how to say goodbye to the items that make your house a junk room. You would also miss the 100 +1 tips that will make your path to becoming a minimalist so much easier.

However, if you insist that it is simply absurd to devote thousands of words to minimalism, then please read the following page. Follow the advice, and then give the book to someone who might need it.

––––––––

Less is more. And from.

––––––––

Are you still here? That makes me happy!

Then I'll start explaining what a minimalist lifestyle actually means, what a minimalist does and doesn't do to live a minimalist life.

What is a minimalist lifestyle?

The practice of minimalism has a thousand-year history. This mixed with an artistic movement has evolved into a lifestyle common today.

Underlying the modern minimalist lifestyle is a sharpening of your awareness and intentions about your belongings, time, and energy. It would be misleading if we equate the principles of the minimalist lifestyle with those of the minimalist design style, which is characterized by extreme succinctness. However, what the two do have in common is the principle that less is more.

The minimalist lifestyle is a practice, an ongoing exercise, that looks a little different for everyone who has chosen this way of life. As different as we humans are, so are the tasks that individuals have to solve in order to achieve this more meaningful life.

This way of living will fundamentally change the way you think. She puts a lot of emphasis on prioritizing things. What is really important to you and what can you do without? What do you want to keep in your life and what do you want to banish from your life? This prioritization begins with decluttering your home and will then naturally expand to other areas of your life. You will scrutinize and streamline your schedule and prioritize your relationships.

Done right, it will feel healthy and help you lead a happier, more balanced life.

Minimalism is also a movement towards simplicity and away from consumerism.

People crave authenticity. Aside from the clutter and distraction, one of the worst consequences of mass consumption is the shallowness it breeds.

More and more people are realizing that when you scratch the surface, the real beauty is underneath. They make it their goal to pay more attention to this simple, authentic core. This has often been so covered up and neglected that discarding these vast amounts of superficial things, with which we sometimes also identify, becomes a rediscovery of ourselves.

A little about the history of minimalism

If you're looking for the origins of minimalism, you'll find many references across cultures throughout history. In various religious groups, from Buddhism to Christianity, possessions are denounced. Buddhist monks and Catholic nuns have always shown us a minimalist lifestyle. He was just never called by his name.

The term minimalism has only recently been used to describe this type of life. It was first used in the fifties and sixties for a general trend towards simplification. First in music, then in art and design.

In music in particular, minimalism was the most important idea of the last century, enabling virtually everything we hear and love now, from punk and techno to ambient and pop music. Minimalism was not just a movement, it was a paradigm shift. He changed the way sounds were made, heard and thought.

Then, as minimalism became popular in home design and architecture, people embraced the visually appealing aspects of minimalism.

The minimalist design was, and still is, heavily influenced by traditional Japanese design and architecture. It's a counter-movement to the chaos and fickleness of busy city life. Against the overwhelming presence of traffic and billboards of a crowded city. The minimalist design helped to create havens of calm, so that this calmness can also be found within oneself. These thoughts reflect parts of the Zen philosophy that was brought to Japan from China around the 12th century.

But why did this design and architectural minimalism spread to completely different areas of life? How did it become a new lifestyle, a new attitude towards life? Each generation that takes its place among adults responds to what came before it. We grew up and still live in an era of overconsumption.

This statement sums it up: people buy things they don't need with money they don't have to impress people they don't like.

The pressure that if you're not in trend with fashion, or your tech gadgets, and aren't beautiful, smart, rich, and fit at the same time, you might be missing out, or maybe not belonging, is very high. With the advent of the internet and social media, this pressure has increased immensely because we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. While we know that what we see of others on Facebook is not necessarily their real life, but in many cases a
