The guide to a minimalist lifestyle

Our world today is marked by consumption and we are confronted every day with advertising that suggests to us that material goods bring us happiness and satisfaction. It is about earning as much money as possible to live a life of material abundance. But this lifestyle is associated with a lot of stress, work and little time for the important things in life like friends and family. This raises the inevitable question: is it all worth it?

I want to bring you closer to a lifestyle that is the opposite of excessive consumption: minimalism. Minimalism will bring serenity, peace but also joy back into your life. Through this book, you will understand why it is time to turn your back on the consumer society and cultivate a minimalist lifestyle. Here I give you a detailed step-by-step guide for your very own individual way into a minimalist life. I will explain what minimalism is and what it brings you personally, how to start a minimalist life and what methods and tips will help you lead a long-term minimalist life.

Don't waste any more time and finally make time for the important things in life through a minimalist lifestyle!

Minimalism - Why less is more!

Minimalism is a lifestyle that is very critical of all superfluous consumption. It is about leading a simple life that is limited to the important things in life. The consumption of unnecessary things is completely stopped. The purchase consists of the most necessary goods, which one needs to the life, completely without packing unimportant small things also into the basket. The renunciation of excessive consumption also reduces the social pressure to always have to keep up with the others when it comes to the latest technology or the best car, for example.

In this way, people can escape the pressures of everyday life and experience a completely new feeling of freedom. The goal is a self-determined life that triggers a feeling of fulfillment through renunciation. Minimalist people detach themselves from all superfluous possessions and goods they possess and limit their consumption as far as possible to the most necessary things in order to reflect more on themselves again.

There are minimalists who have only 100 things. An even more extreme form of minimalists are the so-called dropouts. They live almost entirely without consumption and return to nature in their daily lives. They start growing fruit and vegetables and live on their own products. Only the most essential things are purchased if there is no other way, such as exchanging or borrowing. But even if you don't choose one of the more extreme forms of minimalist lifestyle, minimalism can completely change your life.

Is the minimalist lifestyle a suitable life form for you?

This question is easy to answer, because minimalism is suitable for almost everyone. What could also argue against discarding superfluous things that are actually only ballast? You have more space, more money and more time. That makes you happier in the long run and that is a promising goal! You just have to want it and be motivated and ready for a few major changes.

In the following chapters I will explain the advantages of minimalism and give you a guide for your start in a minimalist life that you can sustain permanently.

The advantages of a minimalist lifestyle

There are many advantages to a minimalist life. In the following sections I will explain the most important advantages.

Saving of time

Since you no longer spend your time shopping or shopping, you naturally have more free time. You may even live so minimalistically that you can and will afford to reduce your working hours. Then you have even more free time. You can now devote more time to your family and friends and maybe even go back to a beloved hobby that hasn't been around for a while.

Saving of money

It is obvious that you have more money at your disposal if you live minimalist. If you do without unnecessary consumer goods, you will have more money left in the end. Perhaps you will also choose a smaller apartment or an alternative type of living, such as a shared flat, and can thus also save considerably on rental costs. The financial benefits can be felt in all areas of life if you live in a minimalist way.

Healthier life

Through a minimalistic life, you have significantly less pressure and thus also significantly less stress. This is not only good for your well-being but also for your health. After all, it is no secret that stress burdens the heart and triggers too high a blood pressure. In addition, you move more if you decide, for example, to do without your car. Getting around by bike or public transport not only makes you fitter, it also makes you feel different about your surroundings. This promotes your well-being and therefore your physical health.

More flexibility in life planning

If you live minimalist, you will not find yourself in a situation where you accumulate debts or acquire something so big or expensive that you will have to pay it off for years. This way you always have a financial buffer with which you can also fulfill spontaneous dreams such as great experiences or are prepared for unplanned expenses such as repairs.

Better sleep

Your minimalist life brings more movement and less pressure. This also gives you a much better sleep, as you go to bed relaxed and physically busy. Your sleep will be more relaxing and will bring you much more energy for the following day.

Conscious enjoyment

If you refrain from excessive consumption, you will become much more aware of the things you still possess. You can enjoy them all over again, because they are something special and nothing ordinary anymore. If you live a minimalist lifestyle, you will cook more yourself and perceive the food in a completely different way. This makes
