What is a person who lives a minimalist lifestyle? And why choose this way of life?

First, living minimalist doesn’t require you to stay away from the Internet or give up everything, but it does require a “less is more” mindset.

If you have a desire to get rid of clutter and create more space for yourself both physically and mentally, a simple lifestyle may be an option for you. In addition to having more freedom in space, imagine if you spend less on “stuff”, you will have more money saved or spent on things that are truly big and meaningful. than.

The current me is very happy living with less money, while building strong relationships with family and friends. Living minimally is extremely healthy for your mind and body.

Here are 7 key benefits of a minimalist lifestyle.

1. Improve mental health

Humans are products of the environment. If your home is messy, so is your mind. Do you feel like you can’t think clearly in a cluttered space? Recently, I realized that my mind becomes brighter and clearer when working in a neat and airy space.

2. It helps you focus on what’s important

The most important thing in life is people, your lover, your family and friends. When life ends, few people will say they love luxury cars and mansions. Most people would probably say I wish I could spend more time with my children and family. So, the fewer things that need your attention, the more opportunity and time you have to do the things that are more important to you.

3. The house is easier to clean

If you don’t like cleaning your house, this lifestyle is for you. The fewer things to clean, the faster the house will be cleaned.

4. Having “less” is freedom

The more stubborn you are, both physically and mentally, the more susceptible you are to stress. This is similar to the visual and mental stress you experience when you are surrounded by chaos and clutter. Research shows that when you let go of an object, or something unnecessary, the happiness hormone – dopamine is released.

5. Increase creativity

Many times, your lack of creativity is because you are too busy. In fact, doing less will help spark more creativity. You will be able to start looking for solutions to problems and interesting ideas will arise. And you’ll also have more time to do them. They will no longer be wishes or dreams but will become your reality.

6. You will save money

Becoming a minimalist will improve your finances. Modern culture places great emphasis on houses, cars, careers, and objects that symbolize wealth. But minimalists don’t care about material things or comparisons with others, they soon realize that less actually means more. You will have more time to focus on yourself, thereby gradually starting to care about those around you. When you give, you will feel like you are truly living a meaningful life, because “giving” is life.

7. Health will be better

You live in a world where stress is common and work, burnout, etc. can cause serious health problems. Especially when the epidemic raged for more than two years, everyone’s life seemed to stagnate, and many people did not know what to do. The stress of staying healthy and working becomes a major problem for many people. As a minimalist, you can still enjoy life because you are accustomed to living “with less”.

It will be much easier to start living a happier life in 2024, once you are free from the stress of always wanting to “do more”. It’s time to start a minimalist life, both physically and mentally. Believe me, you will feel a lot more relieved once you start this life of “dare to let go, dare to quit, less is more”.
