When life is too busy and complicated, a new way of living takes over: Minimalism.

Minimalism is focusing on yourself, taking the present as an opportunity to resolve relationships and things around you, giving up unnecessary things, so that everything around you and inside you is more streamlined.

By letting go and filtering out truly useful people and things, we can live more comfortably, bringing in less chaos and negative energy.

However, in real life, there are always some people who like to torment themselves. Even when they have everything, they are not willing to throw anything away.

This type of person who does not know how to let go often cannot escape the following 3 situations:

1. Because of the hardships of the past, you should be as frugal as possible

In the previous era of material scarcity, many families were destitute, even food and clothing were difficult, so as long as it was wealth, whether good or bad, they valued it.

For the hard-working generation, saving is an engraved lesson. Even when times progress and living conditions improve, they are not willing to throw away what they have.

In everyday life, you probably also encounter situations such as: Trying to eat leftover food even though it has been left for a few days and starts to smell unpleasant; eating spoiled fruits and vegetables to save money; scolding others severely for forgetting to turn off the lights; even humbled himself and suffered humiliation just because he wanted to enjoy some benefits “falling from the sky”…

Indeed, thrift is a virtue worth learning in all ages. However, we must do everything in moderation. If we save too much, we will become frugal and stingy, thereby negatively affecting the quality of life and surrounding relationships.

Material things are always important, but they are only truly precious when they are necessary and beneficial to us. Therefore, do not let the notion of “saving” cause our health and life to gradually decline.

2. When faced with indecision, it is difficult to make choices

There are some people who don’t want to throw anything away, not because they have gone through hardships, nor because they are too frugal, but simply because it is difficult for them to choose, difficult to decide.

The most obvious signs of this type of person are thinking too much, looking ahead, procrastinating, it can also be said that they lack clear goals and the ability to reflect on themselves. That’s why they can’t choose, they want everything, but in the end they can’t possess many things.

There is a saying: Most of life’s troubles come from trade-offs deep in our hearts.

Human life is limited, so many people find it difficult to decisively choose things that are meaningful to life and throw away things that are worthless.

After all, people still need to have clear goals and the ability to judge. When things happen, you should stop being irritable, start looking at yourself, see the present as an opportunity, promptly choose and exchange, thanks to new things to receive a better life.

3. Lack of decisiveness, worry about gain or loss

There is also a type of person who cannot bear to throw anything away, even if they do not use it day after day or year after year, they still cannot bear it, mainly because they are ambiguous and cannot clearly distinguish whether the item is Is that item still needed or not?

For example, when cleaning out the closet, a set of clothes that have been unused for several years are too small and don’t fit, but I can’t bear to throw them away, partly because I’m sorry for the money, partly because I think I’ll lose weight someday.

Some household appliances that haven’t been used at home for a long time take up too much space, so it’s a shame to throw them away. I always feel like if I want to use them later, I’ll have to spend money to buy them again…

However, the result is often that things that are not used now may not be used in the future.

So there’s really no need to mess around too much. Life doesn’t have many “if onlys” and “special circumstances” in the future. Worrying about a tomorrow that hasn’t happened yet makes it impossible to enjoy the present life with peace of mind and comfort.
