Minimalism changed my lifestyle and extreme minimalism changed even more.
Here are the 10 biggest changes that happened when I became an extreme minimalist.
One of the biggest changes is less clutter or even no clutter at least sometimes.
Mentally, physically and emotionally I feel so much better now that my life is clutter free.
A surprising change that minimalism had on my life was more time.
Not buying things actually saves a lot of time. A surprising amount of time. Also not maintaining,
storing, keeping, fixing all these sorts of things that you have to do when you have stuff
and the more you have the more time it takes. One of the best benefits of a minimalist lifestyle is
that I'm more productive and I procrastinate less. Before when I needed to start a task I would start
cleaning my house or clearing out the clutter, but now there's not so much cleaning or decluttering
to do. So I ultimately have to be more productive. Having a minimalist home really helps me to not
procrastinate when I have to start a new task. My personal favorite about minimalist lifestyle is
that it's aesthetically pleasing. It looks so much more beautiful and I much prefer it over
a cluttered space. Everything matches, everything is minimal. There is no dust and it's super clean
and aesthetic. Another benefit of the minimalist lifestyle is that it's better for the environment.
I no longer buy things on a whim. I'm hyper conscious of what I purchase and what I consume
and what I bring into my home. This is much better for the environment and there is so much less
consuming when you have a minimalist lifestyle. Living an extreme minimalist lifestyle and owning
a lot less stuff than the average person feels so much freer. I could pack up all my belongings,
my partner could pack up all his belongings and we could fit them in two suitcases and leave
tomorrow. I traveled a lot even before I became a minimalist so it sort of forced me to not have as
much stuff. Nut not having stuff is really one of the best tips I have to travel more easily
and more effortlessly. And also to move countries easier. My life is so much easier since I became
an extreme minimalist. I can't really explain why, but I used to have so many things to do with my
stuff. I don't know if it was cleaning the stuff, or moving the stuff, or maintaining the stuff,
I used to just spend a lot of time thinking about my stuff. Living an extreme minimalist lifestyle
really changed this for me because it showed me that I didn't need to have all this stuff and
suddenly my life became so much easier. A very practical benefit of this lifestyle is that it's
so much cheaper. I used to spend the majority of my money on buying new stuff. Whether it was
clothes, decor, jewellery, home items, whatever it was I used to spend a lot of money on just
purchasing stuff. But I really didn't need these things and now I know that and living a minimalist
lifestyle has showed me or proves to me that I don't need to keep buying stuff, which is so much
cheaper. Another one of my favorite benefits of minimalism is that it's so much cleaner.
I can't even begin to explain the difference. But my house is cleaner, my wardrobe is cleaner,
my cupboards are cleaner, literally every part of my life or like my physical life
is cleaner thanks to minimalism. And of course this is one of the best benefits of minimalism.
Because who likes cleaning? And maybe the absolute best benefit of minimalism
is that I'm less anxious. I used to struggle a lot with anxiety and sometimes I still do,
but minimalism is really one of the key practical or physical factors that's helped me calm
my anxiety. I have less stuff to think about, less stuff to clean, less stuff to worry about,
and I no longer worry about buying new things or keeping up with trends. The minimalist lifestyle
is easy and it's simple. And it's effortless. I absolutely love being a minimalist and I think
it's such an important thing. Especially in today's age when everything is focused
on consuming. I think a lot of people don't realize that even if you're just on instagram
looking at aesthetically pleasing apartments, or even so-called minimalist houses, they are
often filled with stuff. And more importantly, they're often filled with advertising to get you
to buy more stuff. There are so many benefits to living a minimalist lifestyle so I wanted to
share some with you today. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next week's video. Bye.
