As I near my 4th anniversary of minimalism, I’ve been reflecting on how much has changed. I find myself walking through my downsized home with pride over the sanctuary I’ve created after parting ways with an abundance of excessive stuff. Now, the majority of the things I own are the things I LOVE, USE and that ADDS VALUE to my day-to-day life, however, if I were to be realistic, I could still probably part ways with about 40% of my current overall belongings.
Minimalism has given me the gift of perspective: How little I actually NEED & USE to live a meaningful life.
Here are some of my self-reflections after a year of minimalism:
- I LOVE living a Slow & Simple Life
- As I am currently living on my own, there’s no mess
- I’m aware of my own needs
- I put aside more money for my savings
- By letting go of sentimental stuff, I felt a freedom I haven’t felt before
- I have more time on doing things that matters the most
- I am more content
- I’m more confident
- I enjoy the small moments that make up my life
- I can focus on cooking nourishing & nutritious meals 2-3 times a day (YES, I LOVE COOKING)
- My physical needs are way few
- Validating NEEDS vs WANTS takes practice but is a game changer
- I pursue more purposeful ideas and dreams
- I’m at peace with this stage of life; driven by self-love
- I worry less
- I compare less
- I buy less
- I’m brave
- I’m intuitive
- I’m authentic
- I’m decisive
- Self-care is essential
- This is not a rehearsal; this is my one and only life
