The New Minimalism

  • Is Minimalism more than just a trend?
    I recently moved to a new place because I wanted to start from scratch. Talking to my friends about it, I told them the only thing I missed from my old apartment was the TV. One of them says, but you don't need it. You are a 'minimalist.'
    I left, and it made me think... Am I really a minimalist? Or am I just following a trend?
    I decided to challenge my own beliefs in an attempt to really understand the rise of the Intentional Living movement.
    Turns out the concept of Less is More goes back further than we realize.
    In this video, I share my findings with you. I hope you enjoy it ✌🏻

    My breakfast bowl genuinely does spark joy, and not just because I adore my first meal of the day. I also have a thing about handmade and 70s ceramics so most of my kitchenware is joyful and in full use.

    I want to be a minimalist because of:
    1. I love everything to be tidy and organized
    2. I want to save money for future
    3. I want to stay healthy by having only 2 meals a day

    You’re hilarious!! You totally made my morning!! I believe minimalism is what you make of it. Simple living, I guess that’s what I can call it. Like how you refer to it at the end of your video. That is so amazing that you got to visit a Buddhist monastery! It looked absolutely beautiful out there!

    Good points Robert, I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately as well. When I first adopted minimalism, I really felt drawn to the aesthetics. And I was impressed by people practicing extreme minimalism. But as time passed, I've come to see minimalism more as a philosophy that helps me to live with more intention. And less about looks or 'owning X items'. I think that's why I'm more drawn to 'slow living' these days, which seems to be more of an open norm, with fewer preconceived notions/looks that come with it.

    As an architect, I can say that in the 1920s the modern movement exploded and embraced some kind of minimalism, and the greatest exampe was Mies Van der Rohe with his famous phrase: "Less is more".
    Have all of you a great day :)

      Thankyou Robert what you say makes sense, its freeing for me not to have self worth not tied into possessions, and less is definately more for me.
      I often think how older generations had alot less and were far happier,
      I am currently thinking about how i eliminated so much that i feel i have gone too far and i need to re address some balance.

    And I live in a complex with older people and when they die.They leave hope until stuff behind.And they think that the family is going to want all the stuff and they don't want it.And it's such a burden for the family. When my friend died immediately, her son got and had a yard sale and threw out stuff and gave stuff away.And in two days everything was gone I think she hadn't even been buried

    Minimalism:
    1. Clean n Clutter free
    2. Quality products in less quantity.
    3. Eco-friendly, recycling products or waste, plant greenery.
    4. Less cost living.. or costless living.

    I have to agree with Mai's comment below...I prefer a sub minimal lifestyle because I prefer my home to be clean, simple and organized. Living in this kind of environment, can reduce stress and increase productivity. And thats pretty much it, all the other reasons other people have don't apply to me.

    And then my other neighbor, his wife, died, and he Have so much stuff up to the ceiling. And now the landlord is saying get rid of it or we are going to kick you out because it is now causing a hazard to the other neighbors. If the place caught on fire, everybody else would be affected and there's mice coming out of his place and flies. And so it's crazy.. So by seeing all this and experiencing all of this in this last 4 years, I have been throwing away stuff and throwing away stuff.And it's been hard on me because I like the stuff that I bought and yet I know I won't use it so I have to let it go and i've been doing that to families that have come from ukraine
