>
>
> 1. Get Rid of Stuff that Doesn’t Serve Your Happiness
>
> Most people’s living space is cluttered with myriads of things they never use and which don’t contribute to their well-being.
>
> 2. Resist Consuming Products You Don’t Need
>
> Discarding things you don’t need is crucial to emptying your life from unnecessary stuff, but if you keep on acquiring new material possessions, it’s going to be filled up pretty soon again.
>
> 3. Appreciate all the Amazing Things You Already Have
>
> In the day and age of Instagram, so many people are having terrific self-esteem issues. That’s because they constantly compare themselves to others who, in their eyes, always seem happier, more beautiful and way more important than them.
>
> Appreciate the beauty of nature.
>
> Appreciate the joy of tasting food.
>
> Appreciate the heart-to-heart bonding between you and your loved ones.
>
> Appreciate the little things in life, and all of a sudden you’ll discover that you actually have way more than ever thought.
>
> 4. Minimize Your Internet Distractions
>
> Was checking your email the first thing you did this morning? Or was it perhaps scrolling through your social media feed? Or maybe having a look at your favorite news sites for updates?
>
> 5. Build Intimate Relationships
>
> What’s missing in the world more than anything else is human connection.
>
> 6. Be Truthful With Your Words
>
> One of the main reasons why our lives are so complicated is that we’re not quite honest with each other. We say things we don’t mean and we don’t say those things that we do mean, and this inevitably leads to plenty of misunderstandings and interpersonal conflict.
>
> 7. Do One Thing at a Time
>
> Minimalist living in essence means focused living, and focused living means making the most out of each and every moment.
>
> Here are some examples:
>
> We check our phones while we’re eating.
>
> We are jumping between tasks in a browser.
>
> We are lost in our thoughts when others are talking to us.
>
> We are thinking of what thing to do next before finishing the current thing.
>
> 8. Treat Your Body With Care
>
> In order to be able to enjoy your life, you first and foremost need to be in good health. Hence, it’s vital that you treat your body with loving care.
>
> 9. Focus on Your Most Important Goals
>
> People usually have a big number of goals they want to achieve, and often they are even opposing to each other. One day they want this thing, the next day another, and the next still another. No wonder they usually end up achieving nothing but complicating their lives.
>
> 10. Cultivate Mindfulness
>
> Lastly yet perhaps most importantly, minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind - that is, a mind that is free of conflicting thoughts and in tune with the present moment.
