Living More With Less Waste.
✨"Although I haven't sold any items as a result of decluttering but I have given out items to people who really need them. I keep items like plastics and bottles for a particular woman who buys them in the neighborhood. It's a way of making a living for herself, so giving her is just my simple way of assisting her." @george-dee
To Hold or Let Go...
✨"There are a lot of sentimental gifts and items I own from friendships and relationships that are no longer present. It’s quite hard to let go of these things since they have so many memories backed in them. But I understand that I need to abide by the principle of mental decluttering to live a more wholesome, stress free life. But is knowing the importance of letting go enough to just let go?" @jhymi
DEALING WITH MAXIMALISTS
✨"The thing is, taking care of my space with them around is not a big deal but then the fact that the moment I step out and get back in everything seems to be back to the way they were, that is the problem." @hopestylist
𝑶𝒖𝒕 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔.. 𝑰𝒏 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.
✨""Can worrying add a cubit to our life span?" This is one of my favorite quote from the holy book, I was a huge fan of anxiety, I worried about almost everything, you can call me an over thinker, but embracing minimalism taught to let go of unnecessary baggage in my heart and just live truly and freely." @amiegeoffrey
The big challenge was hoarding
✨"You know, when you haven’t worn a piece of clothing in a long time, putting it on makes you look fresh and different in the eyes of others, or at least gives the sense of being different. That’s what I didn’t want to miss. Since I didn’t have many clothes, I preferred to keep everything in good form, even if it meant waiting two to three years before wearing some of them again." @kingsleyy
Transformation
✨"Growing up in scarcity, in a scarcity of emotional well being, left me feeling unworthy. So it was easier for me to see money as being bad, because deep down I didn't believe I deserved to have anything in service of my life. It was what I was used to, what I grew up with. Not feeling loved or supported in my own home." @trucklife-family
Embracing The Change.
✨"Honestly, I didn't push anyone away. I just wanted them to see things from my perspective as well, but it doesn't sit well with many of those I called friends. My circle depreciated in numbers but increased a lot in value, and I saw the impact of the few left with me." @george-dee
#KISS - Minimalism and the spirit
✨"How many material things do you need to do good deeds or a comforting word? Well, many of them are free! And we use our own life and breath to demonstrate our spiritual health." @aaalviarez
Phones Down, Spirit Up!
✨"But something nasty about cheap dopamine is that it never truly satisfies you. The moment you stop, your brain rebels and forces you to pick it back up again." @zitalove
𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑 & 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆: Decluttered Spirit
✨"Whether we believe in it or not, this world isn't ours, we would all leave someday, and so, leading a life with little or no regret is what we should hope for. For me, thinking back to how I've been living my life spiritually, minimalistic practices has always been there." @merit.ahama
