Minimalism

When it comes to pursuing personal goals, we find that its the things that least serve a purpose in getting us toward progression that tend to be more convinient to us than our own goals. We should first be sure not to fall from our own steadfastness. But we should also understand these to be the distractions common to us that actually clutter the mind from being best focused and intuitive on our goals. Concerning regression, these are what disallow us from obtaining greater potential of success. We find our solution in detaching from the things that limit us, so that we can better focus on goals. This act of detachment is what we commonly know today as “minimalism”

The “Less-is-More” State of Mind

  • The minimalist purpose is found with intent of non-conforming to any consumer obsessive standards we may come across, but rather renewing the mind to consider what is TRULY necessary. Minimalism as an ancient discipline seems to have resurfaced in our day and age with a new name. It is the embrace of simplicity with only few material possessions. The common theme of eliminating excess and adding purpose to ones life. In this we find many different types of minimlist, yet they will all in common be somebody who is particularly careful about what they keep in their lives. Considering every possession to serve a purpose and value.

Minimalist Self-Reflection

  • Pick one room in your home that you spend most of your time in. Look around at the things that take up space and ask yourself, “is there too much unnecessary clutter?” If so, Let us detach from toxicity.

  • The same as our physical bodies are considered sacred temples, and thus to certain extent, a reflection of our own self-love. The space around us in which we live, and the conditions there of which we live under can also, to a certain extent, be reflecting of our own selves. With this in mind, we see that clutter in the room could very well be reflection of the clutter in the mind, (& Vice-versa). If this be the case, let us detach from toxicity.

  • Consider the people around you in which you spend most of your time around. And then consider the goals which you hope to accomplish this year. Are those the people that you feel are gonna help you tackle these goals, or distract you from progressing? This is not to say, get rid of all your friends and find new ones. However this is a reminder that even our social circle(s) can be a reflection of our own Self-Love. And if this be the cause of regression, then let us detach from toxicity.

  • Lastly, consider your own activities. The things you do on a daily or even through-out the week. Or what about any projects that you spend a lot of your time working on. Are these activities going to bring you closer to where you want to be in life. Or keep you in the same place. Even our every day activity is also a reflection of our own self-love. And if our activity keeps us stagnant on our greater goals, then let us detach from toxicity.

The Value of Minimalism in Self-Love

  • Minimalism teaches us to know when to let go. It shows us ways to detach from whatever is holding us back from our own success. We usually hold material things to the idea of minimlism, yet we now see that it is just as important in our relations, activities, and even behaviors. Ultimately, too much of anything can be toxic. Minimalism is the reminder that we should pack light for the journey.
