Minimizing

The next step in my journey.

I've learned to de-stress and let go of the past issues and people who have caused a lot of grief. I've learned to redo my diet and exercise to maximize my health.  I've rid myself of negative social media sites. I don't miss any of it. The really cool thing is that the family is on board with these as well.

Next: The living space. Time to declutter. Not that I have a lot anyway.  Someone once thought I was a minimalist with what I do have. However, I do have a lot of things that I really don't need or use. So, I'm going through a lot of things, like clothes and art stuff, that I don't really need.

It's too easy to get caught up in the American lifestyle of "gotta have more" and "keeping up with the Jones".  It's a detrimental mentality. We become more obsessed with having things and less concerned with what really matters. People lose sight of the concepts of compassion and gratitude. All the Black Fridays and White Sales feed the gluttonous, selfish nature people have come to know in this country.


Two videos by a lovely young lady who has some great advice, not only on minimalism, but good health and well being:
