Minimalism is a tool that can asssist us in finding what real freedom is. Freedom from fear, worries, feeling overwhelmed, guilt depression and freedom from the traps of consumer cultures that we are used to. As you know in modern life, it's hard to chase real freedom because we are in a limited way of living life. However, there are ways to make our life more meaningful easier and happier. As I continue to find answers and get good explanations about the reasons to be a minimalist, I tend to find it fascinating because it's a great escape to the world's excess consumerism, distractions, and too much noise. Minimalism is a way of eschewing the non-essential in order to focus on what's truly important in our life.
Today,I want to share three stories with you based on my experiences.not big deal,just three stories.
There exist a grand online festival named “Double 11”,which hold by Alibaba company.on that day,most of us are crazy and impulsive online shopper.we try to buy discount goods as much as we can. However,when some of online goods come to use,we find it is useless or have a poor quality.things are not we really want and it is a waste of money,int the end,I have to get rid of them reluctantly.If I were a minimalist,I will have less but own more and try to make a good usage of everythings I have.
Last month, because I changed my job I needed to move my house. While I was packing my things I was shocked to find out that I needed to use seven textile bags and a big luggage to fit all of them even called a Yidao driver to help me transport my things to my new place. I spent the whole afternoon unpacking and I came to realized that I rarely use these things except for the essentials and they have occupied most space of my living room. if I were a minimalist, it is not only easy for me to move house,but also use few time to arrange living goods,as well as have more enjoy myself.
Last scenario that I have noticed is whenever I am working and hearing some notification tones on my mobile phone, my focus on working will be interrupted because of my curiosity of that notification and the same if I post something on my Wechat friend circle. I tend to check it and see if someone comment my post,what’s new on the earth or what people are talking about, usually,I get lots of insignificant message which make a great influence on my and can’t finish my job in time. If I were a minimalist,I will do better in my job and keep balance between work and entertainment.
All in all.I shared with you what I usually do and would have done If I were a minimalist. Sometimes we do things in our daily lives that are inadequate and useless whenever we have come to realize it. minimalism is such a good solution organize your daily life and finally make us have less but own more.worry less but contribute more.disturbed less but devote more.once you realized what is important in your life.being a minimalist can help you speed up!
