30-Day Minimalism Challenge

Stumbled across this post and I find it interesting.

What is minimalism? 
To sum it up in a single sentence, Minimalism is a tool used to rid yourself of life’s excess in favor of focusing on what’s important so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.

Minimalists don’t actually avoid material possessions; they avoid excess. Paradoxically, by owning less, the things we own bring greater joy to our lives. In other words, all of our things are our favorite things. Otherwise they are in the way. This is so true and also something I have to remind myself on my journey to becoming a minimalist. It is okay to buy something, but it has to have a true value and need for me. Not just because of money, but because I have really thought about it twice if I need something. When I was younger I bought a lot of unnecessary stuff because it's cheap, after a while often even directly after buying I did not liked them anymore. Right now I’m sorting out a lot of this stuff. I feel happy and relived.

This 30 one-day assignments will help you dip your toes into minimalist living, discover lots of new things about yourself and get a big head start. If you want to live a simpler, more intentional life with less stuff but more time and energy for the people and things you love, make this your month of change!

The rules for the challenge: Do one assignment every day, the order is your call, it can be completed in any order whatsoever. Don’t skip a day. That’s it.

I’m on a journey of letting go of stuff and this challenge above is really my way of being a minimalist. I'm going to start this from tomorrow onwards and for each challenge I'll write a post about it. xx
