Becoming Minimalist
Guide to enjoy life to your fullest.
Life is all about moments. Many cultures have spoken of living the moment, carpe diem, the flow of life, being with yourself, connecting with nature, living in the present, mindfulness ... All are ways to discover the moments.
A minimalist lifestyle is a conductor that brings us closer to living every moment of our life, powering off what is not essential to concentrate on what is really important and gives meaning to our life. It is a source of inspiration towards finding our way of life and living each moment to the fullest.
A minimalist lifestyle helps us focus on everything we do and helps us find our way. We have to see it as an instrument that we have at our disposal to achieve the objective of governing our mind and body.
Minimalism is a personal process of undressing ourselves before society. Little by little, we rediscover what surrounds us and what is truly important to us. It makes us aware of our surroundings and we finally realize what turns out to be little useful or unnecessary to us.
Getting to live a minimalist lifestyle is a slow process, full of obstacles of which capitalist and consumerist societies are constant and persistent. However, finally, the process will reveal our values, will help us see what we have and the use we make of it, to get rid of what wastes our time.
