Currently, a new lifestyle called Minimalism is taking a boom worldwide, this philosophy of life tends to help people identify the elements they really need and raise awareness to make important decisions regarding surplus assets in their lives.
This trend arises in contravention of the capitalism that invades the world economy at a time when we have realized that the world of money can turn many times and that the established financial rules have drastically changed.
This trend seeks to reduce the exaggerated consumption of articles that thanks to marketing we make and feel essential, minimalism helps us to stop worrying about material things and to become more aware of our environment and to exchange the acquisition of material goods for the accumulation of experiences.
I invite the reader to answer the following questions:
How many times when doing a cleaning day at home do we realize how many things we have acquired over time and that we do not really occupy? How many spaces have been crowded by accumulating "memories" of the different places and events we visit? How many times do we feel saturation of debts, objects and pressures?
These questions are essential to recognize that we have reached a point where we have accumulated more things than we really need to live. Excessive consumption policy is a negative way of taking care of our personal finances, our time and therefore our style. of life.
To improve our lifestyle by adopting minimalism it is necessary to implement the following changes in our life habits:
1. Get mental: Minimalism is a change that comes from within us, by virtue of which we accept the search for a better life by reducing the number of material belongings to keep our space and economy in order.
2. Detach yourself: Material things do not make up the person you are, or what you want to reach, letting go of things from the past frees us and generates a more joyous vital space, full of life and things to come, but remember the most important thing is to accept experiences.
3. Get organized: Order your space, order your computer, order your times and simplify actions, with this you will achieve a much more pleasant feeling in your life that will allow you to better identify personal aspects that help you to be more productive and take better advantage of your times.
4. Prioritize: Establishing priorities leads us to determine what is truly important in our lives and in this way achieve changes that lead us to maximize efforts to achieve these goals.
5. Learn to live more with less: Enjoy more activities that generate life experiences, the acquisition of material goods is not primarily something necessary, but the limitation to acquire better situations that allow us to have anecdotes to tell.
The minimalist world gives us the key to start a life full of meaning, without attachment to material goods but rather to a more interesting structure on the way to our own knowledge of things, living more experiences with less things, simplifying and eliminating what is not important.
