MINIMALISM

 "Minimalism is not about having less. It's about making room for more of what matters." - Unknown.

A few days ago, I watched a YouTube video about Japanese minimalism.  As I watched, I realized I was already practicing many of its principles, perhaps without even fully recognizing it. All of us know about minimalism but we were trapped in modern lifestyle. This blog post is my attempt to explain minimalism in simple terms, without relying on Japanese terminology, and to share my personal understanding of it.

Having fewer things; it's about intentionally choosing what holds value and discarding the rest. For instance, a person with a cupboard full of dresses might still buy more clothes, feeling like they have nothing to wear. As a girl, I like jewelry, but not gold or silver. During my undergraduate years, I used to buy jewelry from street vendors. Later, I realized I was wasting my time and money on it. I then decided I wouldn't buy any more jewelry, and now I have no interest in it.

Creating space, both physical and mental, for what truly matters. Imagine you have a big house filled with many things. Some are truly useful, some are occasionally useful, and some are not useful for your survival. These things require regular cleaning, occupy more space, and can mentally exhaust you with confusion. Buy only what is truly needed, create more space, and fill it with what really matters to you. This applies to mental health as well. Create more space for what is truly important. Don't waste your time on trivial matters or with unproductive people. Keep your mind calm and peaceful.

Choose quality over quantity. If you choose quality that you will use many times but if you chose quantity maybe it's a waste of money, time and energy. some people buy cheep quality product, they it for few days and later they will buy new one but different model or company. If you ask them why they will say we are updated with new version and it will give fresh feeling. If you ask me that's again waste of money, energy, time and this time the product too. 

Take care of a plant. It gives you peaceful mind and you feel fresh. You will get fresh oxygen too. 

Don't waste your money on expensive things; spend quality time with people. Instead of spending more money on food in restaurants and expensive places, plan a picnic, go for a walk together, watch a good movie, spend time in nature, or cook together. Trust me, these experiences provide the best memories and build strong relationships too.
