practicing minimalism

hello buddies!

today I started to start practicing minimalism

i did a lot of research on it

minimalism is literally

❝ the practice of having less ❞

basically this means you practice having the less amount of things and are happy with it

this does not mean you have to throw away all your items, this just means you have less or one of each

this is how i started my minimalism

go through your closet/wardrobe

create 3 piles; clothes you want, the “maybe” pile, and clothes that don’t fit or you don’t want anymore or just don’t wear and probably never will

again minimalism does not mean you have to give away clothes that you enjoy to wear!

if you genuinely wear something often and enjoy it please do not give it away

after you should see how much you actually truly want and wear and it probably isn’t as much as you thought

with the “maybe” pile i usually try on the clothes and if i still don’t know whether i want them or not i’ll sleep on it

but if i don’t wear it ever or it’s been in my “maybe” pile for years then maybe it’s time to let it go

declutter your phone and other electronics

turn off most notifications except for important ones

delete the apps you don’t need or use

put everything into groups/folders by category

not only then is it nice to look at but it’s more organized and less messy looking

i know for me once i did this i felt so much better and less stressed out by my phone

as for other electronics...

clear out your email at least once a day don’t let them build up and unread

unsubscribe to all those useless emails you get!

clear out all unwanted or unneeded pictures

REUSE REUSE REUSE

if you are looking for minimalism it’s important that you reuse things

obviously not things like toilet paper or other waste

but if you’re not going to reuse something, donate it

limited waste

speaking of waste...

when i say limited i mean LIMITED

try to make small meals and reduce the amount of food you waste

use reusable straws and plates etc etc

the whole environmentalists movement!!

practice wanting less

obviously we are human, we want things

but really think, do i need this? will i use this in a few weeks?

buying more and more things builds up and then we are back to square one

well anyway thank you for reading!

should i make a youtube video about this on my channel?
