Monday Inspiration: How might your life be better with less?

 
 

Whenever someone asks me about my minimalist journey, I bring it back to these two guys who first introduced me to this "lifestyle" (as I call it). I started my first packing party with them during my 21-Day Journey into minimalism. Ever since then, I've been decluttering bits and pieces my life to give myself more clarity. 

Minimizing doesn't mean go through every single item you own and start throwing things away like a crazy person. It's a journey and it does take time. But the point is to clean away the areas in your life where you feel weighed down or unhappy. Minimizing has made me feel lighter in many ways. It can be in your relationships, your clothes, your food, or your time. 

Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, known as “The Minimalists”, help people live more meaningful lives with less through their website, books, podcast, and documentary.  I watched this film on Netflix, but it's available on iTunes, Amazon, Vimeo and others. See the trailer below. If you have any of the subscriptions above, I HIGHLY recommend taking a look :)
