The true essence of a minimalist lifestyle is determining what provides us the most value in life and removing everything that is simply excess. It works on the concept that less is more. Minimalist living is about intention. You make room and time in your life for the things you love and eliminate everything that distracts you from them.

• It’s a very intentional way of living that gives rise to positive changes in almost all aspects of life.

• Choosing a minimalist lifestyle means choosing to live life with great purpose.

• A minimalist lifestyle involves living with fewer resources whether in terms of a house or possession.

• It is a part of the thought process how a person chooses to live with all the minimal things in life and yet be satisfied.

• A minimalist lifestyle is by no means a radical lifestyle but rather an optimal one.

• In a minimalist lifestyle, people let go of things they don’t need with ease and try to never purchase more than they actually need.

This is the basis of a minimalist lifestyle:

• Choosing to have experiences rather than things

• Choosing to live a life of freedom rather than “following a script”

• Choosing to live with less but live light

• Choosing to buy what we need and not what we want

• Find time for things that matter such as pursuing hobbies and indulging in activities that relax you

• Choosing to live in such a way that general waste and effect to the environment is minimized
