I do not shop out of boredom or as a mood elevator Although it was not easy but I have brought so many changes in the last 3-4 years and I would love to share them with those of you who’re interested in the subject. The more I delved into it, the more my path became clearer and simpler. I want to have the freedom to raise my kids without giving up on my dreams but my dissatisfactory job is a hindrance.Īnd thus began my quest towards a more minimalist but more fulfilling journey. I want to make the environment clean and safe for future generations but my purchasing habits are a problem. I want to focus on my passion but all my stuff is a hurdle. The first thing I did before embarking on this journey was ask myself why I wanted to live a Minimalist lifestyle.

I came across the word minimalism in December 2016 and it fascinated me.

All we need is to change our approach, which of course, needs patience as it is not going to happen overnight.

Now it’s time to make a comeback and to learn the Art of Life where less is more. Don’t you feel that we have reached the saturation? We are always buying something or planning to buy a new thing. We celebrate every occasion by bringing more stuff home.We blindly follow the advertisements that are targeted to make us buy more and believe that more number of things means more happiness.We have a habit of buying and collecting things in the name of future needs.Practising Minimalism in India has become difficult due to certain reasons: It was effortless in the past due to lack of resources but now with increased purchasing power, endorsements and social media, it has become a challenge. Philosophers in the past have preached and promoted this lifestyle time and again, ie, living maximally with the minimum stuff. Minimalist lifestyle isn’t a new concept.
