I’m Gonna Try Minimalism For 6 Months!

Yes, by the time you’re reading this Im aldredy a minimalist!

November 10th, 2018

Happiness is an expansive concept: it can be a mind-numbing thing to try to capture with words. But it was this abstract, complex idea—the thought of being truly happy—that led me to minimalism.

Well guess what im currently in the 10th day of the journey and it’s basically a 21 Day Thing. It takes 21 days to become a minimalist with a lot of steps and dealing with a lot of stuff. I’ll be updating this post on the 22nd Day, so that the whole process is covered here.

BTW, if you don’t know what minimalism means you should probably check out this! Well this must be fun. Yea that’s what i thought but it’s harder than i thought. Especially because in the middle of this process, I had travelled out of station. So To Begin I had To Start Making A List….more like “LISTS!!!”

Now when we get to lists it’s not something which we follow… so don’t write should’s in your list. Start making them your musts. For example,

I should eat healthier food.
I should exercise.
I should write more.
I should read more.
I should watch less TV.
I should, I should, I should.

Now the Musts,

I must eat healthier food.
I must exercise.
I must write more.
I must read more.
I must watch less TV.
I must, I must, I must!

What are your musts? What must change? What has brought pain into your life? What will bring great pleasure? Take as much time as you need and write down all your musts.

I must…
I must…
I must…

Say your musts aloud. Do you feel how much more powerful the musts feel compared to your shoulds? The Should List is weak, passive, lethargic. The Must List is strong, vigorous, energetic. The musts are alive—you must take action!

Today is the best day of my life, because today is the day everything changes: Today is the day my shoulds turn into musts. Today is the day i decided to take action. Today is the first day of the rest of my new, simplified life.
