How to be a Minimalist

There have been plenty of times when I felt I couldn’t keep something simply because I was a minimalist. There’s more to minimalism than having as few items as possible, though. It’s about keeping the truly significant in your life, and that means you have to figure out when it’s a good time to hold on or let go.

For me, Minimalism and Simple Living are interconnected. We practice both and they’re slowly becoming equally important because they compliment each other and our life goals so well. I’ve already done an episode (episode #5) on simple living practices, but it’s so important, I had to create another.
