When my husband and I got married and moved into together, we had amassed two lifetimes of stuff...of things. I always thought more was better until this point when our 1950s home in East Memphis was bursting at the seams. I did what any girl would do and I got on pinterest and searched for ways to organize my life. If I couldn't beat the clutter, I would organize it.
What I found instead was not a way to organize anything, but the word minimalist. What does it mean to live a minimalist lifestyle? Simply, uncluttered. Simplifying your life and pairing your material possessions down.
I knew that I needed a change, maybe your like me and need a change. These tips are for anyone, whether your house is in a state of distress or if You'd just like a tidier home, these tips are for you.
The first is release yourself from the myth of "this might come in handy." If you haven't used something in a year, chances are you are
T going to used. Second vacuum. On the off chance we might need it.
The second, Imagine the life you want. If you donT want to have to dig throuh your closets every day. For pots and pans for close, get rid of stuff.Everything we own requires time, money, energy and focus to maintain
Keep things that bring you joy and discard the things that don't. This gave me th e freedom to part with things. A lot of times we keep things because we siren money on them. More harm than good.
If you do these three things, you'll find relief in not having to struggle
Minimalism or decluttering is not about just owning less, it's about appreciating what you have. Everything you add to your life, more clothes, more decor, adds increased anxiety.
