I used to feel miserable when I see my home with full of mess. I couldn’t make some time to clean as I am a working woman. Then I realized I have a plenty of unwanted stuff, which I could donate or reuse. Eventually, I managed to donate them. So, my house is so clean now. Now, I don’t want to mess it up again. Thus, I researched how to use things efficiently and effectively. Hence I got the brilliant concept on the internet, which is called Minimalism.
To begin with, minimalism is not meant to get rid of everything you have. It has its own purpose. In addition, few principles really helped me so much, which I would like to share some of them with you.
Presents, Gifts
I got married two years ago, and on my wedding day, we were blessed with loads of love through gifts. So my husband and I carried the stuff all the way to the place where we were moving. And this happened in every single house shifting. I must say we moved three times since we were married. Every time the same thing stroke on my head, why I am carrying this unwanted stuff. I really didn’t use that I would not use it forever, but they stay with us at home. Gifts are a form of love that people give us in order to make us happy. However, what if you can’t remember them until you see it. The things can be rather used by some other people in a way that is more effective. Thus, my husband and I thought to give them to a charity. Thus, a true meaning of love has been shared to a needed person.
Loved things
We all have things as we give forever to acquire them. Is it correct? But for some people, it might be hard to use every single thing they have purchased. It might be a rare case but I know few people of the same kind along with me. Whenever I thought to get rid of them, I could not do because those are my things that I am emotionally bonded with. To avoid this problem I asked my husband to pack some of my clothes and accessories, which he thinks it’s worthy to get rid off, and keep them in another place where I cannot able to see. I thought after a couple of months if I am able to guess the things that were stored somewhere, then they are mine, otherwise, I would be going to sell them off. And it worked and I managed to sell many.
Papers, Documents.
And the next most major thing to get rid off is unwanted papers which create our home less tidy. We get newspapers every morning. And they become tonnes after few days. It's easy to throw them off. But what about bills and other documents. I used to store every single paper in order to reduce my fear of being lost of the important papers. Then I collected all the papers from three months and I noticed that there was nothing I can find useful in it. Thus I threw them and made my home tidy. I do this four to five time a year. And I can say my home is more beautiful than ever before.
