Minimalism!

So, from my last blog we got to know regarding different terms like fast fashion,mass market and Mindless Consumerism and how much affective these are. And now something which we all must know about is minimalism. The term minimalism is something we all have heard but in reality we never cared what exactly being a minimalist is.

Minimalism is all about living with less but it carries a lot of weight these days as we can get to know regarding a lot of people who have changed their life by being a minimalist.The philosophy of a minimalist is about getting rid of excess stuff and living life based on experiences rather than worldly possessions.

What are the benefits being a minimalist?? Why is minimalism so much important nowadays?? 

Documentary named "Minimalism: a documentary about the important things." - talks about a guy call Joshua who was just like one of us and was looking for happiness but after fulfilling all his desires he couldn't get that peace of mind. But one day he strikes with a question which we all must ask ourselves, that all the things which we buy to fulfill something does actually adds any value to our lives or not. And as we all know maximum number of things will come with a answer no and so if not we must let go of that just like he does.

And in this documentary we can also see how Joshua's friend Ryan also gets inspired and adapted that which actually made him happy. So from the documentary we get to know how our surroundings creates a delusion of wants and how still people like us can work on that part.

In the end of the documentary we get to know regarding a family where the need of wife and husband different and thus they follow a different path of minimalism. Each individual are different and so as their needs.

Nowadays we all know different YouTube's and as I was going through this topic I looked for many people who have changed their lifestyles and adapted minimalism and they all are happy as they can let go of things which are not really necessary.We must always ask questions before we get into the delusion of advertisements and our surroundings. We must understand that materialistic things can't give happiness and can't fulfill the emptiness it's just what we think in our mind. The more easily we let go of these things, much more simpler our lives would be.

And we must also focus on developing healthy relationships instead of focusing into materialistic things, this might bring more joy and this will also help us to develop and understand each others.

And finally, minimalism can also lead us to a healthy environment and a better future for our upcoming generation's. Yes this might be not so easy but we can take small steps by educating and by spreading awareness.
