If you decide to embrace the minimalist lifestyle, you reach a certain point where both your home and your mind are at peace and a lot of this feeling is down to a culmination of the following things.
You have more time for you
You have control over your stuff- Your items no longer own you. There is a natural flow to things in your space now where anything unwanted doesn’t linger and anything wanted is cherished. It’s a satisfying place to be.
Everything has its place- You know where everything is in your home now- so if you need to find something- you know exactly where to head to get it when it’s needed.
You come home and feel content- You don’t see a long list of jobs or an abundance of things to crowd out your thoughts- you feel a sense of calm when you walk through the door.
You notice everything with fresh eyes- You now see everything you have decided to keep with a new-found sense of gratitude and admiration. All of your sentimental items now stand out proudly.
You don’t have to worry about the ‘out of sight out of mind’ places- The garage, the spare room and the attic no longer fill you with dread because what were once spaces you avoided are now places you happily spend time in.
You have space for you- Your thoughts are no longer occupied by what room to clear out next or when you are going to have a car boot sale to sell all of your old things. Your head is now filled with things you want to do rather than things you feel obliged to do.
People you know are starting to embrace minimalism too- They’ve seen the change in you, visited your home and realised that they want a slice of that happiness too.
