Always, a new year new you concept.  I just love how profound it is for everyone this year.  It is a huge focus so much so that it has and is creating a shift in how we interact with ourselves and each other.  I find it similar to a microscope clearly showing the dirt shoved/crammed under the rug

Either or does nothing to stop my engine. 

I would recommend adapting to the minimalistic lifestyle immediately.  I don't just mean furniture.  I mean who you chose to be around you, are they people who share a common vibe? are they kind/positive/ambitious/open-minded?........its limitless.  I'm talking, minimize your hard drive, your relationships>internal and external.  Side Note: The relationship with yourself is the most important you should nourish and keep healthy.  All in perspective I know the challenges are there.  Let us not be silly.  But it does dissipate the more you focus on yourself (without ego).  You are focusing on how you can be of benefit to the world.  Take yourself away from your problems and issues etc and focus on others.  Volunteer in the very thing you have a challenge within your life.  Extreme Example:  You are a crack head.  Why not volunteer for a soup kitchen serving crack heads.  RIght.  You do something interesting to your mind and your emotions.  You OBSERVE yourself through your environment.  You give back in a nurturing way to the very thing that hurt your soul.  And that inadvertently cancels it out.  It way too much self-reflection and positivity for any harmful thoughts to survive.  

Alkaline your emotions.  Free yourself from the pace you set.  Wether it addictions, depression, lack of mentality, whatever debilitating condition.  It serves no purpose for your future.  Give back to a community to not only nourish yourself but your environment (internal&external).  

All is well.  Just Breadth.
