Why I choose minimalism - Part 1

When I look back ,  I have  wasted on so many things, times, energy, money, emotion and the list could go on and on .... I feel bad ... I have many rushy decision that caused me to have unstable emotion, and unable to focus, and unable to save money too. Wasting is bad, as being minimal is very good as having less things will mean less things to take care of.

I always have this emotion that what I have is  not enough, so , I will plan ahead, like having a roll bed in my car in case I have to sleep somewhere that I do not plan ... After years of thinking that it might happen, it never happen.

 I am planning way too much ahead, and I unable to see what is in front of me, to savour moment, to enjoy the time that I have now, and I am worry about what could happen in the future.

If I could list out things that I buy out of the thinking that I might need in the future, could probably make me sad and miserable, so I am planning to let it go and start new.

Among the the things that I bought that I kind regret are , books, gadget that I kind being influence to buy, but seldom use, then there are kitchenware that I bought that I hardly use any, then cloths, scarves, pens, pencils, and the list will on and on ...

Dear Self, Turn out, I only need a little bit of items for daily use and I could still live nicely even without the items that I thought will bring me feel good.

So, my motto nowadays is to use what I have now and avoid to add clutter in my life.

It might be hard, but I wish I can do it. So, this is part 1 of why minimalism.

Minimalism is not the lack of something, it just the right amount of everything .... No need to have more, just use what already have, or make use what already there, no need to add extra things just to feel complete. When you do not have enough, you are bound to be creative by using the things that already there, instead of adding more stuff. I know and understand the feeling of the need to have more, to add more, and now, as I am practising minimalism, I feel more relax and less stress. There are many more areas that I need to work on, but it a progress. I keep telling myself that what I have now is enough, and I do not need to add more things and items. I feel different too as now I use less money and spend it more on experiences.

Something to think ...

I got this picture from facebook, the picture is not mine, but there are truth inside the pictures. Having a lot of things do not necessarily make someone happier, but to be able to enjoy what we already have is already a bless. Maybe it is time to think back what is important in our life, isntead of keeping and adding more stuff everyday.
