HOW
TO BECOME A MINIMALIST

Have
you ever met someone who
seems to have a messed up life? Or you might even feel that way?
True, to have such situation is totally annoying and frustrating. It
seems that there’s nothing going right with your life. If this
condition carries on, without any doubt, you will be overwhelmed and
your mind is blow away. Of course, you do not want such situation to
continue but you barely know what should be done about it. Well,
before we talk even further about how to solve it, let’s walk
backward a little. What’s the source of such messed up life? It is
true that the causing factors for the people to have such stressful
life can be highly varied. However, if you take a look at the factors
closely, you’ll find that there is a line to connect all of it. It
is about how the people have lived complicated lives. To be exact,
they choose to make their lives to be complicated. And most of them
do not realize it. If the stressful life is actually your life, you
are highly recommended to carry on reading this article so you can
understand that your life is actually really complicated. We all know
that our whole
activities are actually directed and processed in the brain. In other
words, the brain plays enormously important role for the life. Even
though its ability is really awesome but our brains have limitation.
Pathetically, not all people know about their limits. Whenever they
have gone across the limit, the brain will start to be overwhelmed
and the things mentioned earlier will happen. The life will not feel
right and there is no way for the person to feel comfortable about
his own life. It is like there is something haunting over and over.
If you want some proofs, let’s take a look at the simple things
first. Take the example of how you are going to make transaction like
when you are buying some things. How will you pay it? People nowadays
like to use credit card. It seems so simple and easy because you
don’t need to bring your real money. This is the tricky situation I
meant before. Beyond such simplicity, there is a huge trap waiting
which can be solved if you are wise enough in using the credit card. It
is
good if you can really “use” it. Or else, well, you can see how
there are so many people end up indebted to the bank because of the
credit card. Things
will be different if you forget about using credit card and use your
money instead. If you don’t have the money, you won’t be able to
purchase the things. It’s that simple! And there is no way for you
to be indebted to the bank. Why do you use something to represent
your money if your money itself can do the same exact thing? Why do
you complicate the thing? And that’s the whole point I want you to
understand. It is the time for us to live in a minimalist way. If you
choose to complicate the things, it will be even harder for you to
enjoy the life. Remember that we only live our lives once and it will
end when we die. Why do we complicate this single chance? We can take
a look at the people who lives in the past time. They lived without
any complicated things like the technology and gadgets like what we
have today. However, they could live just fine. True, the technology
development is something so awesome and it is inevitable. But, we
must not become the slaves for the technology. Try to simplify the
things in our lives starting from the small matters. Get used to it,
and you’ll find that your life will be a lot much more comfortable
to get through. There is no need for you to be stressed anymore and
your brain will not be too burdened.
