I have always been saying that it's way easier to make the mindset than getting it done in real life. I am someone who had had countless master plans but when it was time for executions, things got messy and the outcomes blurry.
The concept of minimalism has drawn my attention from the first time I learned about it. It was not like I was chaotic and suddenly decided to shift into this. I had my choices and preferences for always, it was just like that it gets better synced with the concept so I had to go with that. I have broadened the concept to dig deeper and to embrace more comfortably.
I have trained my brain like that, to differentiate between what's for me and what's not. I meant the priorities every minimalist has while making a decision that helps significantly. After we train our mindsets then comes our actions. Even though everything is run by our mindsets, still sometimes our so controlled minds get uncontrolled.
Just like a girl, no matter how many dresses she has got in her cupboard, she gets mad on seeing the latest collections on the shop of marketplaces. The same thing happens, oftentimes there are such things that tempted me so hard that I overlooked about the financial damage in my pocket, I jist went allin.. The above picture is from a computer market, you can imagine the scene here. I would often get tempted to buy things that I just don't need. It's just “could've been better if I had” type of feeling and I end up buying.
That's just an example, there are many such things where I forget the mindset and end up doing something that I had reasons to not execute for something else. Yeah, the biggest obstacles while embracing minimalism was my mindset itself. Often it used to get mad and mess up things so badly that I would end up in a dilemma on what to do.
There were often some situations like I know these aren't the things on my priority list, these aren’t my preferences. Even after knowing, my mindset would ditch the minimalist instincts and get drunk to embrace those unwanted stuff. That's occasionally, not always. Those occasional things often leave marks that take a long time to erase.
So yeah, while contemplating my minimalistic lifestyles, my own mindset would through such messed up things for me, that stands as a hardship for me to overcome later. Apart from that nothing was painful enough to trouble me.
