KEY QUESTIONS:
What haven't I used in a while?What would not be replaced if it missed?
Do I love using, empowering, or wearing these things?
I have practiced the minimalistic lifestyle since 2024, yet a podcast I heard not long ago from Michael Lavers, knocked at the door of my creativity to write this journal.
I used to be a hoarder, owned lots of things such as: make up stuff, bags, wardrobes, books, heels, etc. I had a tendency to stock many things in case of urgency I still have many stored at the end of the day.
On the surface level, it seemed like a good life, a huge amount of things, happy mood all the time. I used different things at different times. But after some reflection time, I felt something off.
I stocked numerous things in my room, multiple of each category, filled all spaces around the room. Due to that excessive stuff, I got headache every time I saw them. I stressed out to figure things out, searched things I didn't remember where I placed, ohhh it's chaotic.
Day by day, I decluttered my possession. Each session bringing much clarity, clearing fog in my space and in my mind, feeling much lighter.
I burnt those garbages, I often feel sick seeing them that reminded me of losing my money, I sick get along with them. I threw away some bags, clothes, make up that didn't serve me anymore (some of them have already expired).
I understand now, by being a minimalistic person, I am in the highest peak of joy. I upgraded myself to a much higher perspective, now I become very sensitive to chaotic rooms and excessive things. Recently I understood that things could affect my energy, that things have energy too.
Day by day, I am more sensitive to clutter, it affects my mood. I love cleaning my space, it brings peaceful atmosphere around me. Decluttering is one of my loved activities.
Discuss about energy, I have a perfect question to be asked. Have you ever felt drawn to certain things instead of others? Even though you have a lot of things in each category, anyway you love that piece so much?
Every thing has energy. In Santana Dharma, everything has a life force, it's called Prana. In short, Prana is everywhere; but the quality of prana is different based upon the source and our interaction with the source.
Here I've proved this theory into my actual life. When I feel drawn to certain thing, when I get affected by messy and uncleaned room, those are proofs to my testament.
As I understood of this new lesson, I feel pretty much happier than I used to be. I love stark appearance, whether in a room, on screen, it could be anything. I love harmonious colors in a portray.
Instead of having many things, I prefer having bare minimum but high quality.
"Less stuff, less stress!"
However, ones can not force an opinion on someone else. Even though now I'm changed into a minimalist, that doesn't mean people surround me followed my path.
I encouraged myself to promote this new lifestyle as I upgraded myself. Still, there are people who reject the idea, collect stuff and stock trash in their life. But that doesn't matter, because it is the only way to test if you're brave enough to follow your wake-up call, be the initiator in the midst of people against you.
It is a testament to your true power, with a bold question, "are you dare to be the creator of your life?".
Okay, I'm wrapping up here, I hope I will be live in an authentic self essence, following my true nature, be the leader of my life, and start understanding how beautiful minimalistic life could be.
