What I Would Have Told Myself Before Becoming A Minimalist
Minimalism does not mean having nothing.
Minimalism does not mean white and beige furniture and toys.
Minimalism does not mean you cannot enjoy the things you own.
Even though the house is a mess, you can tackle it in 20-30 minutes because you have a place for everything and it all fits in your home. It is less stressful.
Minimalism does not mean boring. Minimalism means reprioritizing yourself and focusing on your goals.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH EXTRA TIME.
You go from spending 10-20 hours a week tidying, cleaning, and moving things around to 5-6 hours a week- including a good deep clean.
You are going to save money. You will not be focused on everything you could buy because you know it is going to be tossed or give your mental grief trying to make it fit into your life.
Get excited about feeling gratitude again. It comes naturally with minimalism.
You will have mental energy again, and you will get back into hobbies and goals you have had for years.
You will love having people in your home. No shame or hiding.
Your kids play more independently with less toys, they entertain themselves and are so creative.
Your burnout will improve by 100%.
Does minimalism solve ALL your problems?
No.
But does it make you more focused, more productive, more clear, and give you back your free time and hard earned money? Yes. Does it make you more thankful? Yes. Has it improved my relationships? Yes. Is it something I see myself doing forever? Yes. Has it given me back quality of life? Yes.
