Why a Simple Life is so Hard to Get... | slow living + minimalism
#minimalism #minimalist #slowliving #simpleliving
In our society we are expected to do a lot of things. There's a lot of pressure if you want to fit into our society. It's impossible to do it all.
The pressure to fit in and to keep up makes life really hard. While life itself is actually easy. It's the passing of time. You don't have to do anything for it. So why do we make life so complicated?
When I became a minimalist, I did not only minimize the belongings in my home. I also tried to minimize the things on my calendar. To make time to enjoy the simple things in life. To create a lifestyle in which I choose to slow down.
I think the only way to achieve a simple live is to lower the believe of what you think you need. If you need less, you have to buy less. And when you buy less, you need less money. If you need less money, you can work fewer hours which will leave you with more time.
I don't dream about traveling the world anymore. Expensive trips are not worth it for me because I have to work a LOT all year to be able to afford a few weeks abroad.
I also think it's bad for our planet. By living simply we can live in harmony with ourselves and nature. Many humans act as if we are above all animals. That the planet is ours to do with whatever we please.
And we really give ourself too much credit for that. We are part of this planet just like all the other living beings on this planet, just like all the plants, the air and the water. If we destroy this planet, we have no place to live, and yet we act like there is no problem.
In a world full of temptations and commercials it's can feel like you are missing out. For me, that’s what makes it so hard to have a simple life. The problem is not getting a simple life. Maintaining a simple life, that’s the challenge.
But if you resist the temptations in our society for a while, it does get easier. It really takes resistance, but over time you will truly stop wanting all the things people try to sell you. It will brings insight in what has real value in your life.
