Hello, my dear friends of this wonderful community 😊 I sincerely hope you're all well. It's always a pleasure to stop by and share my perspectives on each topic you address each week. Below is my opinion on the minimalist life.
Personally, a minimalist and simple life is the best lifestyle because it allows me to be at peace and enjoy a lot of freedom. To begin with, I don't compete with anyone; I live within my means and do what I can with what I have. Not paying attention to the lives of others allows me to focus on myself, and this has helped me get to know myself much better. I don't have time to see what the neighbor bought, how they live, or what they display. Therefore, I don't fall into the trap of comparing myself to others. If I had time to pay attention to the lives of others, my choice would be to go to sleep because I'm not really interested in competing with anyone.
The minimalist lifestyle also helps me pay attention to the details of my life so I can enjoy the good things, which are usually the smallest, and manage my emotions when I'm going through difficult times, in order to balance myself as quickly as possible and resolve to have more. The minimalist lifestyle trains you and gives you tools to be happy in a chaotic world.
Another important aspect of this lifestyle is that it helps me be aware of my health, so I tend to stop and reflect, and this is fabulous. Being able to know myself every day and always striving to improve my good qualities is priceless. In addition to all this, I'm debt-free because I think carefully before acquiring one; I don't let impulses get the better of me. Of course, I like quality things and I work hard to buy good things, but if I can't afford it right away, I don't go into debt unnecessarily. This prevents me from having a headache that keeps me up at night.
The minimalist life is very sensitive to nature and never misses a beautiful sunset, the birds singing, hugs with family, talking to my cat, and finding that spark that freely brings so much joy to life. We also don't stress about the future, although negative thoughts often assail me, I try to focus on the here and now to eliminate those mental parasites that steal my peace.
In conclusion, the minimalist life is spectacular, and what it needs is more publicity so that many people can also live this way and enjoy their lives much more. ❤️ Although people are familiar with this lifestyle, they will have their reasons for not choosing it, and it is absolutely respected. I truly don't consider this lifestyle lacking in anything because it even encompasses the spiritual realm, which is of utmost importance to me. I would just love for others to learn more about this lifestyle and try it so they too can gain multiple benefits. However, in some cases, it's best to lead by example. Without a doubt, example leads.
