“It is well understood by good parents that life should only ever get so exciting for a baby: after friends have come around and brought presents and made animated faces, after there has been some cake and some cuddles, after there have been a lot of bright lights and perhaps some songs too, enough is enough. The baby will start to look stern and then burst into tears and the wise parent knows that nothing is particularly wrong (though the baby may by now be wailing): it is just time for a nap. The brain needs to process, digest and divide up the welter of experiences that have been ingested, and so the curtains are drawn, baby is laid down next to the soft toys and soon it is asleep and calm descends. Everyone knows that life is going to be a lot more manageable again in an hour.”

Now after all the "noise", both at work and at home, all i want is a debt free life, a safe small home, a healthy diet and lifestyle, a non-toxic inner circle, and everything within walking distance. i just want to see the sun shine.

It's funny when you consider these things: Some people tell to strive in life, others say to stay calm. Some people tell to control/ reduce sleep, others say to increase it. Some people tell to earn more money, others say to stay low because money cant buy happiness. Some people tell to be more social, others say to be less. Some people tell to try to understand the philosophies of life, others say to ignore philosophies. The truth is, you gotta live your life as it pleases you. The standards given by people will always keep you at unrest mode.

Both spectrums have merit. It's good to be ambitious in your 20s, achieve all you can, go through the hardest labor you can endure, trial by elimination of earned lessons and experiences but take heed of the wisdom which accumulates years of other's struggles that you have yet to endure, and mantle yourself as a giver back to those around you to help perpetuate what is amassed material and hard work that keeps a standard of living, health and opportunity possible

Thank you. I think a lot of high schoolers can relate. We're all so tired from school work and extra curriculars that the way we spend our free time is mostly through passive entertainment--watching videos and TV for hours, instead of giving our mind rest. That makes us sleep deprived and even more tired the next day, fueling the dangerous cycle of overstimulation and fatigue. Mental health should be a priority for all students.

But we are NOT given the LIFE tools ( e.g. PROBLEM SOLVING/CRITICAL THINKING/ LOGIC [ With regards to the last, not being taught a useful form of logic such as Non Newtonian MULTI valued, holistic logic we are forced to fall back on the quite inadequate 2 valued, either /or logic of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle ] ) * but we need far more appropriate life tools to cope with surviving in a society becoming ever more dystopic which becomes ever more obvious as the corrupt politicians refuse to deal with an increasingly negative reality as they are solely concerned with maintaining a status quo which benefits them - @ our expense - & @ that of our planet ! Apart from that, despite the fact I was told I was going to a "good" school, only two teachers ( both doing history ) were any good. The rest were just going through the motions. To make a bad situation worse it was exacerbated by the fact schools only cater for the average person with an IQ of 100. In time I came to view my time @ school as the "3Bs" - Bored Beyond Belief !

The mind needs rest...I lock myself up in my room without books, without phone, without music. I just sit, close my eyes, and I rest. Some people call it meditation. I just call it rest, or restfullness. The more I do it, the more I notice my 'system' desires peace, silence... nothingness. It's a wonderful feeling, to just be able to sit and come to a certain peace of mind. I Just observe my thoughts and emotions without trying to push them away. They are there, floating around, but they don't bother me so much because I am in 'rest-mode'. I try to do this every day 10 minutes. And I must say it changed my life for the better.

I take break but thats not break exactly ,in my case its loss of interest in doing stuffs which are not mandatory. I just lie down and watch such videos as much as i can . Now i have started feeling bad about it . But it feels like i have to learn so much about life and how to live and i end up watching videos whenever i am doing nothing . ( Kind of addiction )

Exactly. I'm 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap. You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks and enjoy life 💟

@Shrraddha__
@Shrraddha__ 8 ай бұрын
@@1225elb not that u asked me but I wanted to answer😅 I think it could mean different things for different people. But when we hear minimalism we first picture "less things" right? It shouldn't just be about less things but the emphasis should be on things that we absolutely require, the basics, sometimes we purchase a lot of things because we see other people doing it. My best friend's closet is full of clothes and I used to be so upset that I don't hv that many clothes, but then I came to know that she buys a lot of cheap clothes, and that's why she was able to buy so many. Quality over quantity, that's one thing I came to know about myself. And also it shouldn't be all about things, but minimalism can be seen in a person's mindset, their lifestyle, the things they do, their friends and family, evrywhere. I am trying to be a minimalist, tbh it wasn't the concept itself that attracted me to be a minimalist, it is because of... anxiety maybe. I feel this intense regret when I buy smth that I surely know that I don't need it. Like a skincare product that is currently a trend. I knew about poverty but I think in the last few years, I saw poverty around me, maybe I am too sympathetic idk, but buying things for myself always reminds me that there are so many people out there who can't even feed themselves so this feeling stops me from buying unnecessary items. Sorry for the explanation 😅 I tend to do that. Anyway please do share your story. What's your take on minimalism?
