Minimalistic and Simplistic: Lifestyle for the Organized

Are you a person that prefers a minimalistic and simplistic lifestyle? 
Welcome to my world.

Living with less, but only with the best. 

So what's this whole minimalism thing all about? Why do I have a such strong desire and urge to live a minimalistic and simplistic lifestyle? Minimalism is a tool that can assist you in finding freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from worry. Freedom from overwhelm. Freedom from guilt. Freedom from depression. Freedom from the trappings of the consumer culture we've built our lives around. Real freedom.

Minimalism is becoming increasingly popular. Embracing a minimalistic lifestyle leads us to desire less, and allow us to focus our energy on things that are meaningful, valuable and important to us. The great thing about minimalism is that there is less stress. The less you have and do, the more you will feel free. Becoming a minimalist you will also become more productive in things that are important. You can focus your energy and thoughts on important matters.



Minimalism as a philosophy can be applied to anything, because it's essentially simplifying, prioritizing and organizing. Most people live their life trying to acquire more and more things. Living a minimalistic lifestyle is the complete opposite. It's about trying to live with less and less things. I'm a strong advocate in quality over quantity. In doing that, it frees up your life to pursue the things that you most value. Minimalism can help simplify and organize your life, career and physical surroundings.

The reason we seek a minimalistic and simplistic lifestyle is to allow our thoughts to be clear, precise and to unleash their full potential. People like me live with in an intense internal debate and discussion within our own heads. It is the philosophical state of mind, and hence we require a simplistic and minimalistic lifestyle to nurture that discussion. Minimalism allows us to make decisions more consciously and more deliberately.

Minimalism is a way of life
