Cleaning House

Before I began my minimalist journey, I was tasked with decluttering my mother’s home during a difficult period. I was both emotional and distressed by the daunting task of losing countless possessions I had grown up with. Each item had been brought into the home by my mother’s hand and felt impossible to let go. The stress brought on by the task carried over into my own home, where I realized a change needed to be made. The desire for less called me. I needed a way to shed the burden of clutter and lead a more intentional life.

What do you think when you hear the word "declutter" and what does it really mean? It is not about living frugally. It means becoming aware that less is better, because it allows you to acquire more freedom, more money, more space, and more awareness of what you buy and consume. It doesn't just work for things; you can apply decluttering to any part of your life, whether it's the mess in your home, your finances, your brain, your relationships, or even your work.

Minimalism is a popular, rapidly growing trend which is sweeping across the Western world. Built on the foundation that a clutter-free life means a clutter-free mind, minimalism is a powerful way of freeing up your mind to give you more freedom, higher productivity, more focus, and a wealth of other benefits. This guide uncovers how you can be a minimalist, from the origins and history of minimalism to how you can stop comparing yourself to others and feeling like you need to own tons of stuff.
